Learn how to communicate with your BOCA printer          


IMPORTANT NOTICE

Microsoft plans to discontinue their usage of third party printer drivers over the next few years. In consideration of this, we have developed Windows, Mac and Linux SDKs to provide our customers with the opportunity to make a smooth transition to the new driverless platform.



The SDK (preferred) allows you to implement features into the ticketing software that will allow you to communicate directly with the printer, without installing a driver.  The SDK provides commands for sending text, barcodes, FGL commands, graphics and logos, as well as requesting and receiving status information from the printer.


We also have a collection of older code samples to demonstrate how to communicate bi-directionally with your printer with and without printer drivers on a variety of operating systems. The sample program allows the user to send a string or a file to the printer and then read the returning data and display it. We recommend that you test the sample code before making any modifications. 


Please note that the sample codes and SDKs are supplied as is and as a service.
