Receipt templates for BOCA printers require specialised formatting due to the unique printing technology and capabilities of these devices, which are commonly used for their high-speed and high-quality output.
Ventrata includes functionality specifically designed to accommodate BOCA printers. By utilising our templates feature, you can create custom receipt templates tailored to the specifications of BOCA printers.
This customisation ensures that all receipts are printed correctly and efficiently, maintaining the professional standards expected in high-volume environments.
Create BOCA Template
In the Ventrata dashboard, go to Products > Templates.
Press the + New Template button.
Enter a name for your template.
Select the ‘Terminal Receipt (BOCA)’ option to indicate what the template is for.
Enter the physical dimensions of your tickets.
📗 TIP
We recommend you measure the the width and height of a single ticket with a ruler, then convert it to PDF points (1 PDF point = 1/72 inch) using a converter tool, for example this.
Press the Create Template button.
Edit Template Layout
Use the user toolbar to add elements to the template.
📒 NOTE
The scale of the elements in the dashboard does not match that of the printed ticket. It takes several rounds of fine tuning to get the right size and distance of elements from each other. Also take into account any pre-printed branding on your tickets, for example, if the top half of your tickets is occupied, locate your print elements near the bottom edge of the ticket.
Press the Save button.
When saved, upon re-opening, the template can be duplicated. You can create a similar template changing only some details.
