Loftware Format Data Printing On Labels Sent From Other Tools To the Same Zebra Printers

Description

Loftware format data (lines, fixed text, and/or fixed graphics) is printing on the label output from another software package using the same Zebra printer.

Some non-Loftware label-printing software tools do not clear out the existing label format data stored in the printer's memory. These tools may not even use format data for labels, so they do not remove the information.
If the non-Loftware software does not clear or replace the format data stored at the printer, the format fields from LPS or LLM will print on the label.

Solution

Configure Loftware Print Server or Label A label is a design area on the computer screen where a label format is created or edited. Manager so that it removes the format data after printing is completed.

Requirements

Any version of the Loftware Print Server or the Loftware Label Manager.

7. Make sure that the check box for Shared Network Printing is selected.

Result
