DRIVER COMMANDS (implemented November 2007 on new 26/46 printers)
In general, we discourage sending FGL commands from the driver as they lead to unexpected results. However, the following commands were designed specifically for use with windows drivers. All of these commands must be sent using one of BOCA’s resident fonts. (Mac and Linux drivers do not support resident fonts.)
CUTTER COMMANDS
NO CUT MODE -
This command places the printer into a “no cut” mode where a print command will cause the printer to print without cutting the ticket. Please note that no other data should be sent on the same ticket as the “no cut mode” command, as all other data on these tickets will be ignored.
CUT MODE -
This command returns the printer into its default “cut” mode where a print command will cause the printer to print and cut the ticket. Please note that no other data should be sent on the same ticket as the “cut mode” command, as all other data on these tickets will be ignored.
FORMATTING COMMANDS
FGL MODE -
This command allows the user to format the ticket independently of the driver. Please note that data sent in this mode will not be displayed in a WYSWYG format and may overwrite or intersect with the data shown on your screen when printed. The primary purpose of this command is to facilitate the use of rotated bar codes. The command should be sent at the beginning of a line (in a resident font) with the bar code information immediately succeeded by the bar code information and an command. The command sequence cannot extend beyond the end of the line. Each command sequence must be placed on a new line with a separate command. We suggest placing the mode commands at the end of your ticket separated from the remainder of your ticket data.

PROGRAMMABLE TEST TICKET
This command would allow the customer to design their own test ticket.
