FLASH MEMORY EXPANSION SUPPLEMENT(NOT AVAILABLE ON 22/24/26 level) The 46 printer comes standard with 512KB of Flash memory (44 – 256KB). However, 46 (non-Lemur) can be ordered or upgraded with an additional 4MB of expansion Flash memory for a total of 4MB. A 44 can be ordered or upgraded with an additional 2MB of expansion Flash memory for a total of 2.25MB. A 46 Lemur comes with 4MB of expansion Flash memory already. The FGL42 printer comes standard with 128KB of Flash memory. The 2MB of expansion memory includes the original 128K plus two reserved 64K blocks. Therefore, the total memory available with the expansion upgrade is 1.92 MB. This memory can be used for storing downloaded fonts or logos. At powerup, the printer will determine if it has any additional memory. If so, it will display a message on the LCD display (EX. MEM DETECTED) and use the full expansion flash for storing downloaded data. All the rules for downloading information to the expansion flash are the same as before. However, several new features have been added: If the flash gets full, it will flash the LED panel with an error 9 status pattern (see the LED STATUS PANEL SUPPLEMENT for further info). If you try to print a logo that was not saved or only partially saved because the flash was full, you will receive a status byte (28 dec) from the printer. If you overflow the expansion flash when downloading a font set, you will get the flashing LED error 9 status as described above. However, if you try and print an incomplete font set you will not get a status byte indicating a mistake as you would with an incomplete logo. You will probably notice the mistake on the printout. You may still use the download space available status request The ESC c command is still used to reset the pointers in the expansion flash (also see the FONT SIZE SUPPLEMENTThis section describes the different font sizes available on the Boca Printers and any restrictions pertaining to each. See the following pages for actual-size samples of most of the available font sizes. The samples are usually shown with character 33 (!) first, thru character 126. If a character can't be printed in a certain font size it will appear as a blank character. All font sizes are available in rotated and non-rotated modes unless indicated. Definitions: Normal ASCII character set - characters (33-126). Extended character set - characters (33-255). German character set - 8 common German characters (64,91-93,123-126). British Pound sign - character (96). OCRA special characters - these are special characters recognized by OCRA scanners (95,96,126). FONT1 - (5x7) (7x8) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also includes the German character set and the British Pound sign. It is not recommended for use. FONT2 - (8x16) (10x18) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also includes the German character set and the British Pound sign. FONT3 - (17x31) (20x33) - This is an OCRB-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also includes the German character set and the British Pound sign. FONT4 - (5x9) (7x11) - This is an OCRA-styled font containing most of the extended non-rotated character set (no extended graphics characters). It does not include lower-case letters in either rotation or the OCRA special character set. It is not recommended for use on 200 dpi printers. FONT5 - (5x11) (7x12) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters in non-rotated mode only. This font is generally used by special customers and is not recommended for general use. FONT6 - (30x52) (34x56) - This is an OCRB-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. This font also contains BOCA's condensed German and British character sets. FONT7 - (15x29) (20x31) - This is a full OCRA font when printed on a 200 dpi printer. FONT8 - (20x40) (20x33) - This font has been changed. It is now the same as font13 except for a smaller boxsize. This is the default font size for the 8.5" wide printers to allow them to easily interface to most word processing programs. FONT9 - (13x20) (13x22) - It is a 13x20 OCRB style font (includes our condensed German character set and the British Pound sign) sitting in a 13x22 box. (NOTE: Whereas most fonts are drawn the exact width of the character, font 9 is drawn with spaces on one or both sides of the character to optimize character to character spacing. This results in the box width being equal to the character width.) FONT 10 - (25x41) (28x41) - This is a bold Prestige font containing the condensed German and British character sets. FONT 11 - (25x49) (26x49) - This is a Script font. FONT 12 - (46x91) (47x91) - Orator font for tall, bold lettering. FONT 13 - (20x40) (20x42) - Courier styled international character set (223 characters). PRINTER DRIVER SUPPLEMENTThere are multiple driver types that can be used with a Boca Systems printer. We supply printer drivers on our web site. Windows supplies printer drivers with the PC and some third party ticket vendors will supply a printer driver with their ticketing system. All of our drivers and those supplied by Windows will allow you to communicate through driver dependent applications like Word, Excel, etc. When the printer driver is set up as shared, access to the printer can be established over a network. Although many printer drivers work with Boca Systems printers, they all behave differently. Usually only one driver will work with a specific ticketing system. If unsure which printer driver works with a specific ticketing system, call the ticketing system vendor and ask them which printer driver they use. Since Boca Systems manufactures numerous types of printers it will be necessary to understand a few facts about the features of the printer currently being installed. This will enable correct selection of the printer driver and complete the installation. Printer Features
