This section describes how to create a custom template for both a logical and a physical tag printer. Creating a custom template enables you to specify what information prints on the label and how it appears.
Basically, there are three functions that you must complete before you can use a custom template:
When you create a custom print template, the information is stored in the WebSphere Premises Server database. A custom print template for a logical printer must be stored on the file system of the logical printer software. For example, the .lwl Loftware print template must be on the Loftware server to access it.
To submit custom print jobs from the Print, Verify, and Ship Reference User Interface, you must create a corresponding properties file after you define the print template. The properties file contains static information such as customer name and address, and dynamic information like product name and description. During the printing process, the application uses the data in the properties file to construct the contents of the label.
