WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Working with print templates

This section contains information on managing print templates using the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console.

A print template in the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console consists of a template name, a printer type, and a template file location that reference an existing print template stored in another file. A print template file for a physical tag printer is written in a printer-specific language and contains instructions unique to that printer to define the layout of the fields that are being printed on the label. Sample print templates are provided in the following directories:

They can be customized to meet your specific label requirements.

A print template for a tag printer must be stored on the file system of the printer software. For example, the .lwl Loftware print template must be on the Loftware server to access it and the .btw Bartender print template must be on the Bartender server to access it. A print template for a physical tag printer can be stored on your IBM® HTTP Server or on your local file system. The IBM HTTP Server can be on either the same server as WebSphere Premises Server or on another server in the RFID network.

To submit print jobs from the Print, Verify, and Ship Reference User Interface, you must create a corresponding properties file that contains static data required for shipping, such as customer name and address, after you define the print template.
