DRIVER APPLICATION NOTES
There are three different driver types that can be used with your BOCA printer – Generic Text, FGL and PCL. While all three allow you to communicate through driver dependent applications Word, Excel, IE and/or access the printer over a network, these drivers have very different operating modes. Please note that the only printer status information readily available with these drivers is whether or not the printer is ready to receive data. These drivers will not return status on any interface. While we do not recommend installing the printer drivers if you intend to communicate bi-directionally, we have developed some ways of communicating bi-directionally while using drivers. see Bi-Directional Communication with Printer Drivers section below
FGL
Drivers contained in printer_drivers.exe
This is the preferred driver for BOCA printers. This driver is only to be used with FGL mode printers. NOTE: Old FGL printers may not support the use of FGL drivers. FGL driver support was first introduced in 2000 on FGL22/42 printers.
BOCA
PCL Drivers contained in printer_drivers.exe
This is a legacy driver for BOCA printers. This driver is only to be used with PCL mode printers. With the exception of the limited resident font and bar code choices, these drivers install and operate similarly to the FGL drivers. NOTE: Prior to the release of the BOCA PCL drivers, many customers used HP LaserJet IIP drivers. However, the HP drivers have slightly different margin definitions and lack many of the features supported in the BOCA drivers - vendor defined page sizes, customer defined page sizes, etc.
Generic
Text Driver
This driver is typically used only in older printers that do not support either FGL or PCL drivers. This driver does not support WYSIWYG, true type fonts or graphics. Additionally, Microsoft support on this driver is increasingly difficult with each version of Windows. We suggest avoiding the use of this driver whenever possible. Please note that none of the remaining instructions apply to the Generic Text Driver.

General
A printer
driver translates the graphical information displayed in your Windows
application into a printer friendly format. In order to properly
format the data, the user must correctly establish the page size and
margins. Windows supports the following methods of defining page
sizes:
Vendor BOCA Defined -
We have pre-defined some common page
ticket sizes which can be used with any Windows application.
Please use a BOCA defined page size if it meets your requirements.
User Customer Defined -
This method allows the customer to
define any page size less than 16 long. This is the preferred
method whenever a vendor defined size is not available. Adding a
new page size create a new form is described in detail below.
Windows Defined -
Windows has pre-defined a variety of
common page sizes. The BOCA drivers allow you to access the
letter and 11 x 17 page sizes. Please note that margins must
be adjusted to avoid printing outside of the ticket boundaries.
Custom Size -
This option is only available in some
versions of Word. We do not recommend the use
of this method.
Use – All applications PCL and FGL
Before using
your driver, you should select the appropriate ticket size in the Page
Setup dialog of the application. If your desired ticket size is
unavailable, you will need to add your own page size as follows:
Go
to Printers and Faxes
to File at the top of the dialog
Select
server properties
the Forms dialog
o Check
the create a new form box
o Enter
the desired width, length and margins
o Set
Margins - start with the following minimum margins and increase as
necessary
FGL DRIVERS
o Portrait
Mode - top and right 0, bottom and left . 01
o Landscape
Mode - bottom and right 0, top and left . 01
PCL DRIVERS
Mode - top . 07, right 0, bottom . 01, left . 01
Mode - bottom and right 0, top . 07 and left . 01
Click
on Save Form
Close
Some older
driver versions allowed you to select the letter size and adjust the
margins to define the ticket size. This feature is still
available in the new drivers to support old installations.
When selecting
a new font, Windows will default to the previous font size. This
size will usually be incorrect. You must re-assign a valid font
size to guarantee the proper font representation on your screen.
Tall font in Word Pad does not display properly on the screen.
Use – Word Only PCL and FGL
Word, you must select the use printer metrics to layout document box
in tools/options/compatibility. All of the previous driver use
guidelines apply to Word. Word also provides you with the unique
ability to define a custom page size within the application
itself. We strongly recommend against the use
of this feature. However, the following description will explain
the use and limitations of this feature.
While Word
allows you to manipulate the page size in both portrait and landscape
modes, the data sent to the printer only functions properly in portrait
mode. You cannot print in landscape mode with a
Word defined custom page size.
In portrait
mode, you can manually set the height for any ticket length up to 11
inches. For ticket lengths greater than 11 inches, you will need
to add your own page size as described above in the all applications
section.
Printer
Models adjustable vs. fixed and reverse adjustable
Due to a
variety of legacy issues and driver limitations, an adjustable FGL
printer operating in portrait mode requires an command in
order to properly format the ticket. This command only needs to
be sent once as it is permanently stored in the printer s memory.
You can send the printer and command to reverse an
erroneously sent command. Please note the manner in
which the printer formats the ticket in the various scenarios shown
below.
