You may download load the program that fits your needs. To use these programs you will need to download the zip file to
your Apple/Mac based host computer. The following steps will guide you through using these programs once they have
been installed on your host computer.
1. Hook the BOCA printer to the host computer that you have the Customer program loaded onto. Make sure that
the printer has stock loaded and it ready to go. A printer is ready to print when it is able to print out a self test
ticket by depressing the TEST button. If you are not able to get a self test ticket, refer to the
user’s manual to
make sure you have the printer properly setup.
