Using too many printers

Problem

Your license determines how many printers you can use. When you exceed your printer limit, you get a warning in your Loftware applications.

Solution

You can keep printing, and your production doesn't stop. For a short time, you can use up to double your printer limit for testing purposes or non-intentional printer usage. Unused printers are automatically removed from your list after seven days.

Note

To see your list of printers in Loftware Desktop Designer, go to File > Options > Printer usage.

Note

You can't manually delete printers from your list.

To keep from exceeding the number of used printers in the future, also check actions in your Loftware solutions:

  • Print Label

  • Set Printer

  • Send Data To Printer

  • Define Printer Settings

  • Set Print Parameter

If your problem is critical, contact our sales team to activate a 30-day trial license with more printer seats. To use a trial license, deactivate your existing license on all computers running Loftware software.
