The following White Paper articles are
technical in nature and assume that you have a basic understanding of the
Loftware components and how they are used.
Understanding RFID Licensing:
A Further Overview of how it Works Loftware Introduced RFID Printing in version
8.0. This whitepaper is aimed at giving a better understanding on how RFID
capabilities are licensed in the Loftware Print Server (LPS).
Oracle WMS and MSCA Printing
If you are using Oracle WMS or MCSA applications there are several choices for
adding the ability to print bar code or RFID labels. Each choice has it’s
benefits and drawbacks depending on the requirements of the system. The purpose
of this white paper is to examine each solution so that our customers can make
an informed decision as to how they may proceed.
Canon's Automated Data Capture Solution
Recently, Canon Business Solutions-Southeast engaged BearingPoint, a business
consulting and systems integration leader, to assist with its enterprise
resource planning (ERP) implementation of the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite. A
critical requirement of this integration involved the creation of an automated
data capture solution for this division's distribution facilities.
Driving Zebra
QL320/QL420 Printers with Loftware
Loftware has created a white paper to help you understand how the new Zebra
QL320/QL420 wireless printers work with our software.
Methods and Approaches to Printing Bar Code Labels From SAP
Like other customer enhanced printing in SAP, some ABAP programming is required
to print bar code labels to network connected bar code label printers. This
document primarily addresses the issue of printing labels. The issues of
printing a bar code as part of documents is not addressed. SAP Only Solutions
Organizing LPS Servers, Printers, and
Label Formats for Large Scale Labeling Systems
Creating large-scale label printing systems is never an easy task. However, with
the proper amount of forethought and clever system design, large scale printing
systems can be achieved with the Loftware Print Server (LPS). This white paper
outlines some important things to consider when your system is large and
complex.
Using TCP/IP Sockets to
Interface with the LPS
Integration with Loftware is possible through the Loftware Socket Interface.
Loftware has a registered port with Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
The WatchDogNT interface to the Loftware Print Server (LPS) will listen for both
Sock Stream and UDP on port 2723.
Converting Front End Program from
Smart Compiled Files to Loftware Print Server
Current Front End Programs that use Loftware's Smart Compiled File (SCF) product
may be converted to the Loftware Print Server (LPS). LPS offers a total
enterprise solution by providing significantly more flexibility than Smart
Compiled Files.
Loftware's
Open Architecture Equal Flexibility
The Loftware Print Server (LPS), along with the entire line of Loftware
products, has an open architecture that can be set up in several different ways.
Performance Considerations for setting up the Loftware Print Server (LPS)
We believe the LPS is the fastest, most advanced bar code print server product
on the market today. Although the overall performance of the LPS is very
impressive, enterprise printing is a complicated process and many factors will
effect performance.
Making requests to
the Loftware Print Server from an OptioDCS Script
OptioDCS and the Loftware Print Server complement each other very well. OptioDCS
has the ability to intercept any data stream directed to a printer, make
enhancements to the format of the intercepted data, and let it pass through to
the destination device or reroute it to another system. The Loftware Print
Server (LPS) exercises full control over your thermal transfer bar code
printers.
Using Middleware
Technology to Implement Large Scale Label Printing Systems
Printing barcode labels is often overlooked or not considered at all when
implementing medium and large scale business systems. Companies often find
themselves in the vulnerable position of not being able to ship product because
they underestimated the complexity of getting data from their applications onto
labels using thermal transfer barcode printers.
Maximizing the
Flexibility of the LPS System by Providing Data for the General Case
The Loftware Print Server (LPS), along with the entire line of Loftware
products, has an open architecture that can be set up in several different ways.
By following some simple rules, you can obtain some impressive flexibility. This
white paper contains concepts and procedures that you can follow to achieve the
goals outlined below.
