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

In Cloud Designer and Cloud Essentials, Loftware automatically removes printers from the list after 24 hours of no usage.

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.
