Configuring the Web Push Components

Server and Client-Side Configuration - The Printer Configuration information that follows is a two-part process, whereby the Printers that the Client intends to use are configured on the Server-side first, then the Local or LAN/WAN Ports are configured on the Listener (Client) side.

Configuring Web Push (Server Side)

The Loftware Print Server keeps a list of all the Listener Clients that can connect.  When a Listener connects, the printer configurations on the Server for that Listener are downloaded to the Listener.  Each of these printers must then be configured with a Port on the Listener Side.

Step 1:  Add a Web Push Client to the Server (LPS) database

1.  Open Loftware Design on the PC running the LPS (Server-side)
Start | Programs | Loftware Labeling | Design 32

2.  Open the Device Configuration dialog box
File | Devices or F6

3.  Highlight a printer, click on Connection.

4.  Choose Web User in the Print Using section of the configuration dialog box, and make sure that the Shared Network Printing box is checked.

5.  Click on the drop-down list and choose the designated user.  If the user does not exist on this list, click on the ellipsis button  

The LPS Users dialog box is displayed:

6.  Click Add; fill in the blanks in the Selected User Data section.  The User Name is the only required field.

Note: It is suggested to use a full name to avoid confusion.  The User Name must be unique, meaning that no two people on the User List may have the same User Name, or a warning message is displayed.

7.  Click Apply to save the addition and create more LPS Users as necessary

8.  Press the Add button to add as many LPS users as you wish.

9.  Click OK to save the addition(s) and exit the dialog box.

Step 2:  Configure Printer(s) for the User

Configure the printers for the Web User in the same manner as you have previously added and configured printers.  See Chapter 2 in the LLM User’s Guide for more information.
