Print Manager/Spooling Connection
When to use
Use this option if the printer is connected directly to the serial, parallel, or USB port of a computer other
than the one on which Loftware Label Manager or the Loftware Print Server (LPS) is running. If your
printer is IP Addressable, use a TCP/IP Connection.
When this option is used, Loftware Label Manager queues print jobs to multiple printers via the
Windows Print Manager instead of sending them directly to the printer. The print engine is occupied
with the job only for as long as it takes to pass it to Print Manager, which is substantially faster than
sending it to the printer via a serial, parallel, or USB connection. As soon as the job has been passed, the
Operating System takes over the task of sending the job to the printer.
The Generic/Text Only printer driver is used as a pass-through driver. This means that the native printer
language generated by Loftware is sent to the printer without modification. To implement Print Manager
Spooling, install the Generic Text only driver, and then, in the LLM Device Configuration dialog box,
choose the name of the driver that you installed.
