DesignWork with a Migrated Label Template

If you are working with a label template that was migrated from a Loftware Print Server (LPS) environment, you should assess whether LPS-Style Font Rendering is and should continue to be in use. You should also review whether issues occurred during migration.

Migration Issues

If you are viewing a label template that was migrated from an LPS environment, you can determine whether issues occurred during migration. If issues occurred, you can view information about the issues and any changes that were necessary.

Review Migration Issues

To determine whether issues occurred during the migration of a label template, do the following.

  1. In Label Design Label Design, click , select the label template that you want to review for migration issues, and click OK.
  2.  Review the Properties panel.
    • If Successfully migrated is displayed, then no migration issues occurred for the label template.
    • If Migrated with issues is displayed, then migration was performed but some issues occurred and changes may have been necessary.
  3. If the label template was migrated with issues, click the View Issues button in the Properties panel to view information about the issues and any changes that were necessary.

Tip: You can remove an individual migration issue by selecting a field and then clicking the Clear Flags button, or remove all of the issues and the report by clicking canvas and then clicking the Clear Flags button.

LPS-Style Font Rendering

When migrating a label template from an LPS environment to a Loftware Enterprise SP environment, the administrator performing the migration can specify whether to use LPS-Style Font Rendering for the migration. Using this feature maintains compatibility with LPS/LLM (version 9.8) printed output for TrueType® fonts. However, when LPS-Style Font Rendering is used, the label template may not be WYSIWYG and is read-only except for changes that can be performed in Access Control Access Control.

Determine If LPS-Style Font Rendering Is Used

If a label template has been migrated with LPS-Style Font Rendering turned on, then when you open the label template in Label Design Label Design an LPS-Style Font Rendering in use notice is displayed in the Properties panel. Also, the label template is read-only.

Turn Off LPS-Style Font Rendering

When LPS-Style Font Rendering is used, the label template is read-only except for changes that can be performed in Access Control Access Control and the label template may not be WYSIWYG. You can turn off LPS-Style Font Rendering and use Loftware Enterprise SP Font Rendering instead, which will allow you to edit the label template.

To turn off LPS-Style Font Rendering for a particular label template, use the following procedure.

  1. In Label Design Label Design, click , select the label template for which you want to turn off LPS-Style Font Rendering, and click OK.
  2. Click File > Save As and enter a file name.

    Important! It is recommended that you save to a different file name so that you do not overwrite the label template for which LPS-Style Font Rendering is in use. If you overwrite the label template, Loftware Enterprise SP Font Rendering is applied and LPS-Style Font Rendering cannot be restored.

  3. Click OK.

The LPS-Style Font Rendering in use message is removed, and Loftware Enterprise SP Font Rendering is employed.
