Printers - Datamax or Boca

Congratulations! The bad news, I think only Boca’s will work; the good news, we’ve used Bocas for many years and are very happy with the reliability and durability. They also have very good product support.

Subject: [Tessitura Ticketing Forum] Printers - Datamax or Boca

We're converting to Tessitura.  We currently have Datamax printers.  Should we stick with those or switch to Boca? Does it make a difference?

Thanks,

Scott

Having in a past life (pre-Tessitura) tested Boca and Datamax printers side-by-side, my own experience has been that there are differences in FGL between a Datamax and a Boca printer, particularly those commands involving formatting and masking. The Network has standardized around Boca and its interpretation of FGL; the ticket design commands will behave as documented when sent to a Boca.
