Options for Pass Through Devices

If the Family selected is Family Driver and the Model selected is Pass Through, then the Options tab displays the following options.

Pass Through File Types

You can configure Loftware Enterprise SP to pass an external file directly to a device without the need to associate the file with a label template. This allows you to print files that were created outside of Loftware Enterprise SP while still saving auditing data for the printed file. For example, you can select PDF under Pass Through File Types to print a PDF file from a public server or URL without creating or selecting a label template for printing.
