User Guide

The Loftware Print Server® (LPS) is a scalable high-speed, high-volume marking solution for barcode labels and RFID labels. The LAN/WAN and Internet adaptable technology can act as both a middleware solution for automated business processes and as a back-end component for small, medium, and largescale business systems that desire per-client printing and encoding.

File Notes
Loftware Label Manager 12.3 (79 MB) This installs the Loftware Label Manager™. You can download the Installation Guide here.
Loftware Print Server 12.3  (125 MB)

This installs the Loftware Print Server®. If it is detected that there is a previous LPS install, this will also install the Loftware Print Server (LPS) Starter, LPS Standard, or LPS Premier. You can download the Installation guide here.

Note: Use the next 2 Client installs below for installing just the LPS Client applications on workstations remote to the LPS. (The Loftware .NET Control is not installed using the LoftwarePrintServer install.)

Loftware Local Clients 12.3  (40 MB)

This installs all the LPS Clients required for LAN/WAN based printing. This includes the Web Clients (Web Client, Web Listener, Active X control), the On Demand Print Client for use with the LPS Starter, the LPS Standard, or the LPS Premier.

If you had installed the LPS on your system using the Loftware Print Server link above, you will not need to install this again. This is only needed for workstations requiring just the LPS client applications for LAN/WAN printing.

Internet Printing Clients 12.3  (20 MB)

This installs the LPS Premier clients for internet-based printing. This includes the Web Printing Client, the Web Listener, and the Active X control.

If you had installed the LPS Premier edition on your system using the Loftware Print Server link above, you will not need to install this again. This is only needed for workstations requiring just the LPS client applications for internet-based printing.

DotNet 12.3  (205 MB)

This installs the Loftware .NET Control which provides the tools for integrating Loftware's barcode printing modules directly into your own applications. (Note that this is a separate installation. Unlike the 2 client installs above, the Loftware .NET Control is not installed using the Loftware Print Server install.)

Note: If you type in the correct username and password, and the download box is NOT displayed, please wait 10 minutes before typing it in again.
