In addition to device model and connection information, a configured device also contains setup information or “Device Specific Options“ (also called DSOs) and Label Specific Options (or LSOs)). To view and change the setup of the device, click on any cell in its row, and then press the Options button in the LLM Device Configuration dialog box. These settings apply to all media printed or written to this configured device.
For Windows Printers or third party printer drivers, refer to the section in this chapter on Windows Printers and Third Party Drivers for an example of Device configuration and setup.
Note: Keep in mind that the options you see in the dialog box depend on the selected device in the LLM Device Configuration dialog box. See Appendix B for information about options (PSOs, LSOs) specific to your device. For RFID Reader information, refer to the Loftware RFID Reader Solutions User’s Guide.
Sections of Device Options
Note: Remember, this dialog box is different for every Device Family. RFID Reader options are described in the Loftware RFID Reader Solutions User’s Guide.
Label Options Section – This is the section where certain label options are chosen, such as Supply Type, Buffer Mode, etc. More information on Media Setup is found in the chapter “Creating a Label” and descriptions of options specific to each Device Family are found in Appendix B.
Forms Control Section – This area instructs the printer how to behave in terms of the stock that is chosen.
Advanced Options Section – This section allows for more customization of the printing process, such as Memory Modules and Symbol Sets. See International Printing chapter for more information on Symbol Sets.
Custom Command Section – Used for a non-typical function. See Appendix B for a description of this option.
Device Options Example: Most printers have 3 Supply Type Options: 1.) Continuous, 2.) Die Cut Labels, and 3.) Mark Stock. If you choose 'Die Cut Labels' and you then add continuous stock to the printer, the printer responds as if it still had the Die Cut stock in it. The supply type must be changed in this case, or configure the same printer in LLM Device Configuration with the new stock.
