Device details

This topic defines the fields on various device panels. Devices can be readers, simulated readers, and logical printers.

Note: If some of the fields are grayed-out in the console, then you cannot edit them.

Reader details

Table 1. Reader device details

Simulated reader details

Table 2. Simulated reader device details
Field Description
Device ID A unique identifer for this tag reader. After you create the tag reader, you cannot modify this field.
Note: The identifier must be 10 digits (0-9) or fewer.
Device Name A unique, textual description of the reader.
Configuration Group The configuration group for the reader.

Logical printer details

Table 3. Logical printer device details
Field Description
Device ID The ID of the logical tag printer.
Note: The identifier must be 10 digits (0-9) or fewer.
Device Name A unique, textual description of the logical printer.
Configuration Group The configuration group for the logical printer.
Location The location of the logical printer.
Logical Printer Class Name Choose either Loftware or Bartender.
Logical Printer Delimiter If you created a Bartender printer, enter the character that you want to use to separate submitted print jobs. The default character is a comma.
Important: Because the information sent to the Bartender printer is separated by the delimitation character you indicate, that character cannot be part of the printed label information. For example, if you enter a comma as the delimitation character and a comma is part of the company name, the print job fails. Instead use a different delimitation character, such as a star.
Logical Printer Scan Folder Enter the following file path to indicate where the Bartender print server is installed: C:\Program Files\SCAN_FOLDER.
Number of Identical Tags to Print Enter the number of identical tags you would like to print.
