4.0 Installation 

The 

BOCA MICRO series printer

 was designed to be mounted either on a desktop or shelf 

(horizontal model) or vertically in a counter top (vertical model). 

Prior to site preparation and installation, the printer should be powered up and run in the self-test 
mode. 

  Lay the printer flat on a counter top with the cover open. 

  Attach the AC cord and interface cable into the proper connectors. 

  Turn power on.  After initializing, the LCD will display PAPER OUT.  

  Begin loading tickets through the entrance slot with a smooth motion until the printer 

automatically positions the ticket.   

NOTE:  Tickets should be loaded with the black mark facing down.  Refer to the BOCA systems 
website at 

www.bocasystems.com

  After the ticket is automatically positioned (the READY LED will be illuminated), press the 

TEST button located on the control panel to print a test ticket. 

  Verify that the printer properly works with your system by issuing a ticket through your 

computer system. 

You may now install the printer in its permanent location.  Adequate room should be provided behind 
the printer for the smooth feeding of ticket stock.
