Our printer technology
BOCA's
Ghostwriter family of ticket printers are the most flexible and
powerful direct thermal printers on the market today. Direct thermal
technology eliminates the need for ink, toner and ribbon required by
most other printing mechanisms. By using BOCA's Friendly Ghost
Language (FGL) or our printer drivers (available for Windows®, Mac
and Linux environments), you can literally design and print your own
tickets and labels within minutes. Maximum print speed is an industry
leading 14 inches per second (200 dpi, high speed configuration). High
resolution graphics and a variety of industry standard bar codes can be
easily printed.
Custom Ticket and Label Stock
For
users of BOCA direct thermal printers, we manufacture custom thermal
ticket and label stock. We use the highest quality base papers, inks
and adhesives and guarantee them to be compatible with our equipment.
BOCA provides a lifetime print head replacement policy (at no charge)
for printers that exclusively use BOCA stock. We will replace any print
head that fails while exclusively using BOCA stock, if not caused by
negligence. NOTE: 600 dpi heads are not covered by the
replacement policy.
Friendly Ghost Language (FGL)
FGL
is BOCA's industry standard programming language which allows the
user to print data, graphics, boxes and bar codes anywhere on the
ticket in virtually any direction. BOCA also offers printer drivers for
most common PC, Apple and Linux operating systems.
FGL 26 and FGL 46 features
BOCA
ticket printers are offered with a choice of two levels of electronics.
Our basic level is called FGL 26 and our enhanced level is called FGL
46. The FGL 46 option provides the user with a number of additional
features including increased print speed, user-accessible flash memory,
PCX graphics compatibility, scaleable fonts and Asian Font options
(Japanese, Korean, Chinese). Please refer to the FGL Comparison Chart
for details.
Lemur Printers
The
Lemurs are divided into four basic models - Lemur, Lemur-S, Lemur-2,
Lemur-M. All of the printers with the exception of the Lemur-S
(internal storage) are available in a kiosk version. Virtually
all options will be available on any model with the exception of the
Lemur-M (magnetics printer). The Lemur-M will always have a
burster and a 2.12" fixed width paper guide. All other
printers will ship with reverse adjustable paper guides. USB,
parallel and Serial (RJ12 connector) interfaces are shipped on all
printers. Hoppers are supplied at no charge with the cutter
option, except on kiosk models. Top plates are substituted for
hoppers on vertical printers. Please note that the display
and cutter do not come standard on any printer model. WiFi,
Ethernet and Bluetooth interfaces are available at a slight premium on
all printer models.
RFID
Many of the
printers in our product line can be configured to read and
encode onto RFID IC's embedded into the ticket. Our
printers can be configured to accept one of these two RFID
standards - Mifare Ultralight or ISO-15693. |
