Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation supplies
a list of standard device type, sub type and individual devices that
is supported. The definition of a new device type, sub type and resultant
device requires the creation of the appropriate attributes that define
the communication with the device.
The list of attributes that control communication
to a printer are:
- DropDirectory - The directory where the print files
are ‘dropped' by the Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation Server.
The Loftware Print Server keeps polling this directory to pick up
print requests.
When mentioning the directory structure
you can use the full path name or replace the path name with a variable.
For more information about including this variable, see the Extending the Condition Builder .
Note: The DropDirectory attribute appears in the Applications
Manager only if the yfs.loftware.tcpip.sockets property
is set to N in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file.
- PrinterAlias - The printer alias as configured
in the Loftware printer setup.
Note: While setting
up a Printer device in Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation,
ensure that the Printer Alias is exactly the same as specified in
the Loftware printer setup.
Note: In instances
where a network printer is used, ensure that the Printer Alias on Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation does
NOT contain the prefix "\\". However, Loftware may require the printer
to be defined by prefixing "\\".
- PrinterServerHostName - The host name for the Loftware
Print Server. While IP Address may be sufficient, the use of host
name is recommended for ease of maintenance.
- PrintServerPort - The port on which Loftware Print
Server listens for print requests. By default, the print server port
for Loftware Print Server is 2723.
Note: The PrinterServerHostName
and PrintServerPort attributes appear in the Applications Manager
only if the yfs.loftware.tcpip.sockets property is
set to Y in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file.
The list of attributes that control communication
to a weighing scale are:
- ClassName
- PortId
- BaudRate
- DataBits
- StopBits
- Parity
- FlowIn
- FlowOut
For more information about creation of the appropriate
attributes, see Setting up a device attribute.
Note: The ClassName for the Mettler Toledo Weighing
Scale is com.yantra.ycp.ui.io.YCPToledoPSImpl. For
specifications pertaining to the other attributes, see the weighing
scale user manual.
