Setup

Printer Management is a new way to organize your entire labeling system. You can manage updates and printing on all your printers, computers, and drivers centrally from Control Center. Printer Management requires special setup to integrate your printers, driver packages, and computers into a single system before you can print.

	Note
	To use all printer management features and centrally manage your printers, update your Control Center and Loftware applications to the latest version. For more information, read Migrating from previous versions.

On computers you want to print from, install any Loftware desktop application and sign in to your account. Signing in connects your computer to Control Center and makes it available for centralized Printer Management.
Add printer driver packages for your printers. Centralized Printer Management only works with Loftware printer drivers. For more information, read Driver Packages.
Add your printers to Control Center. Printers you add still need to be installed with drivers on computers. For more information, read Managing printers.
Install your printers with their respective drivers on computers you choose. For more information, read Managing printers.

Note

When you upgrade from previous versions of Control Center, your detailed list of printers appears empty when you open Control Center > Printers > Overview for the first time, but all your existing printers are still in your system.

Go to Printers > Printers and click Add. From the drop-down menu, choose Search for more printers in my environment to see all your printers and choose which printers to centrally manage from Control Center. For more information on adding centrally-managed printers, read Adding printers.

With your printers, drivers, and computers set up, you can centrally manage your printing, change printing preferences, and keep your drivers up to date from anywhere in Control Center.
