Supported Printers

Loftware Spectrum® supports printers from a variety of manufacturers. For supported printer families and printers, in Devices , in the ribbon click > Device to open the Device Model dialog box. For supported printer families, select Family Driver as the Family, and then click Model to view the list of supported printer families and languages. For supported models, select a Family, and then click Model to view the list of supported models. The printer models supported may vary with the version of Spectrum.

If neither the family nor the model for your printer is listed, you can explore whether a Driver Extension Framework solution A solution that provides support for a device for which neither the family nor model is displayed in Devices. It typically includes a Generic device, a label template, and any business rules or processes required to run the device. exists that would enable your printer to work with Spectrum. For more information, see Deploying a Driver Extension Framework Solution in the Loftware Spectrum User Guide (Help).

Alternatively, if your printer is not supported, you may define and create your own device driver that allows sending a print stream or image to the device. This involves writing XML to create the desired print stream. For more information, see Create a Connection for a Generic Device.
