User Interface: Device Service Management

If you have a large number of devices in Loftware Enterprise SP, you can quickly manage all of your device connections in System  > Device Service Management. For more information, see Manage Multiple Device Services.

Note: By default, devices configured for use with a remote site are read-only in Loftware Enterprise SP and are managed by the Loftware Print Agent (LPA) or Remote Print Agent (RPA). If you want to manage devices that are configured for use with a remote site instead, see Manage Remote Site Device Services.
