About Printer Family Drivers
If you are in Demo Mode
Any number of RFID devices can be configured in the grid up to the number of available device seats
(non-gray area in the configuration grid). When these devices are used in demo mode, the EPC / DoD tag
data will be scrambled just like any other variable field in demo mode.
If you have a valid license but do not have the RFID module
Any number of RFID devices can be configured up to the number of available device seats (non-gray
area in the configuration grid). They will be shown in red instead of black, which indicates that you
cannot print/write to these devices. Attempting to print or write to an RFID label or tag in this case will
result in an error message. This scenario with LPS will result in the job being routed to ‘Critical Failure’
which can be viewed from the Status Client. Non-RFID jobs in the LPS will still function normally.
If you have a valid license with the RFID Module
You can configure up to the number of RFID seats of RFID enabled devices. Any RFID printers
configured after that will be shown in red and cannot be printed or written to as described above.
Note: To use your RFID printer as a normal barcode printer, choose the model that does not have ‘RFID’ in its
name model designation. In this case, the printer will work just like any other printer without the RFID
capability.
About Printer Family Drivers
Starting with the Loftware Print Server Version 10.0 you may be able to select the printer language that
your printers use, such as ZPLII, as the Model from the Device Configuration Wizard or Grid and
successfully drive printers and design labels that can be shared among different printer models.
You can use the Family Driver to design labels and drive printers that use one of the supported printer
languages even if that printer is not listed among the Loftware supported printers. For example, you may
have a new Intermec printer that has not yet been added to Loftware's supported printers. You can select
IPL as the model and successfully drive your new printer.
Using a Family Driver to drive different models from the same printer family may allow you to reduce the
number of labels and label templates that you use. For example, a single label configured with the ZPLII
Family Driver could be used with any model of Zebra printer that uses the ZPLII Printer Language.
You may have printers from different manufacturers that all speak a common printer language. If you
configure each with the same printer family driver, you may be able to reduce label redundancy and
increase consistency among labels.
Supported Languages
The following Printer Family Drivers can be used. See the Supported Printers and Drivers topic for a list of
the family drivers available per manufacturer.
