Device Status

The USB 1.1 communication architecture connects a computer to a USB printer via a simple four-wire

cable.Many label printers are now available with USB port capability, and Loftware Applications now

have the ability to print to these printers through their USB port.

TCP/IP

An IP connection involves configuring the LPS to print directly to the IP address of the device. When an

IP address in stand-alone printing is used, error messages are displayed after an unsuccessful attempt to

print the label.

For example

If Loftware is connecting to a device that has an IP address but the device is not powered on, the connection

fails and an error message is displayed. In this scenario, when the device is powered back up, the label does

not print; it has to be resent to the device and is then printed. The Loftware Print Server recovers and prints the

label in this case. In another scenario where the device is powered up but is in pause (stock/ribbon fault) mode,

an error message is not created until the device’s memory is full, and then the error message is displayed.When

the fault condition is corrected, the labels that are in the device’s memory are printed, as long as the device was

not shut off.

Note: TCP/IP is the preferred connection for the Loftware Print Server.

Benefits of using TCP/IP connections

l Device can be anywhere LAN/WAN/Internet.

l Connection is fast and reliable.

l Easy to set up, as long as appropriate network hardware is in place.

l Many devices (hundreds) can be set up on your network and made available for the Loftware

Print Server or stand-alone applications.

Drawback

l Device requires a network TCP/IP address that involves extra setup.See your network

administrator for more information on this.

Related Information

If you are driving the devices from your application using the Loftware Print Server, one way to get

acknowledgement that your print request is successful is to use the TCP/IP interface to the LPS that is described

section of the

Loftware Print Server User’s Guide

As you are reading this section, you may need to refer back to the section on device connections for more

information on serial, parallel USB, spooling, and TCP/IP connections.
