Configuring the Ticket Guide and Loading Tickets

This section will explain how to open the BOCA Printer, align the ticket guide and load the tickets.

Setup the printer on a flat surface and undo the screws on each side of the lid
With your tickets positioned with the black line DOWN, slide them into the guide area and then slide the black guide piece over

The tickets should be extremely snug but not so tight that you have to exert force to pull the ticket

Once the ticket guide is aligned, push the ticket forward until the BOCA printer pulls and aligns the ticket

If you ever need to remove tickets from the printer, simply lift the printhead and back the tickets out of the printer.

Troubleshooting

Adjusting the Ticket Mark Sensor

Sometimes the device may need to have the ticket mark sensor adjusted, below is how to do it.

Remove two side screws from the BOCA printers’ lid and remove it
Depending on which version of the printer you have, the sensor may be on the left or right hand side of the printer, look for a small chip attached to a small piece of plastic; This is the ticket mark sensor
Using a finger, slide the sensor forward or backward, depending on the adjustment needed
When finished, place the lid back on the printer and reattach with the two screws

Extra Blank Tickets Printing

ISSUE: We have found that, if the tickets are fed in through the bottom of the stack, extra blank tickets print.
CAUSE: This is due to the Black Strip on the back of the ticket. The thickness on one side is thicker than the other side.
FIX: The tickets need to be fed through the printer in the direction of the picture to the right.

Fixing Incorrect Paper Print Width

It’s possible that the print ticket width could be configured incorrectly for your ticket stock. This can be corrected at the printer itself using the buttons on the side of the device.

With the BOCA off, hold down the Menu and Choices buttons at the same time and then turn the printer on. Continue to hold them down until the LCD displays, Factory Menu.
Next, using the Menu button, scroll through the options until you see Special Head?
Change the value using the Choices button until the value reads REV ADJ2.125 P1
Then Save and Exit

Once the printer reboots, you should be good to test out your ticket printer.

You can also use the BOCA Configure & Test Program to set the print width as well. You’ll want to start by downloading and installing the BOCA Configure & Test Program by going to this link: BOCA Configure & Test Program Download. Once downloaded and installed, you’ll want to boot up the program and follow the below steps to set the Paper Print Width:

When the app starts, make sure to approve any updates if you get a pop-up.
- Note: If the update fails, you’ll want to close the application and run the application as an administrator by right clicking the desktop icon and selecting Run as Administrator
Then, in the top left corner where is says Select a Printer, select Printer Driver from the drop down and a printer pop-up will appear; Make sure to select the BOCA printer option. You should now see the Printer State in the top right corner change to green and it will say Printer Ready.
Under Printer Configuration on the right side of the screen, select Enable FGL for PCL.
Then under Printer Configuration, select Change Ticket Width and a pop-up labeled Select Path should appear.
Set the following options under each value and then hit OK:

Head Type: Rev-Adj
Path: P1
Stock Size: 2.125

Once you’ve hit OK, you should see a confirmation message in the Messages area telling you that the updates have been pushed to the printer and you can close the application.
