Advanced Options for Eltron Devices

Send Options

Whether to send device options configured in Loftware Enterprise SP to the device, or to use the device options configured on the device. When this check box is cleared, the options that are configured on the device are disabled in Loftware Enterprise SP.

Form Number

Eltron printers have the ability to store multiple forms in memory. In order to store multiple forms, a unique name must be generated for each form. This option is used to provide a unique form name.

Label Taken Sensor

Whether the device detects if the printed label has been removed before the next one is printed.

Form Backup

Whether the device retracts the label before printing.

Sensor Reverse

Whether to reverse the Through Sensor Operation, which interprets a blockage of light as a gap. This option allows the through sensor to be used when printing transparent labels with a black stripe backing.

Dispense Sensor

When selected, the device presents each label and waits for the label to be removed before continuing.

Dispense Tap

When selected, the device presents each label and waits for the feed switch to be

pressed before printing the next label. This mode is commonly used when printing multiple copies of liner-free labels.

Dump Mode

When selected, the device is set in diagnostic dump mode.

Send Width

This option should be selected when labels narrower than the print head are

printed. If the label width equals the print head width, clear the check box for this option and the printer automatically centers the printing of the label.

Device Contact Read Retry Attempts Source

When Loftware Enterprise SP requests information from a device and does not receive a response, you can specify the maximum number of times that Loftware Enterprise SP should repeat the request. If the maximum number of retry attempts is made without receiving a response, Loftware Enterprise SP reports an error.

This option allows you to configure whether the number of retry attempts is managed via a global setting or a value that you customize for this device.

Tip: You can view the value of the global setting in System by clicking System Properties. For Namespace, enter deviceManagement to filter the list, and then view the system key named connection.readRetry.count.

Device Contact Read Wait Time Source

When Loftware Enterprise SP requests information from a device, you can specify how long Loftware Enterprise SP waits to receive a response from the device before repeating the request or reporting an error.

This option allows you to configure whether the wait time is managed via a global setting or a value that you customize for this device.

Tip: You can view the value of the global setting in System by clicking System Properties. For Namespace, enter deviceManagement to filter the list, and then view the system key named connection.readWait.time_msec. The value is in milliseconds.
