Using a Loftware NiceLabel Driver at a Facility

In a multi-site deployment of Spectrum, you can configure Spectrum to print to a device at a facility using a Loftware NiceLabel driver, leveraging native capabilities that deliver superior print performance and reduced bandwidth consumption compared to Windows drivers. For more information, see Using a Loftware NiceLabel Driver.

To use a Loftware NiceLabel driver at a facility, the following tasks must be performed.

1. In headquarters, create the facility where you want to use the Loftware NiceLabel driver if it does not yet exist. For more information, see Create a Facility (Spectrum administrator).
2. In headquarters, create the Loftware device to use at the facility, leaving the Remote Site and Device Name fields blank. For more information, see Create an LPA Device Connection (Spectrum administrator or Device Admin).
3. In headquarters, sync the new Loftware device from headquarters to the facility. For more information, see Select Objects to Sync and Manually Synchronize a Facility with Headquarters (Spectrum administrator).
4. On the facility server, download and install the Loftware NiceLabel driver. For more information, see https://www.nicelabel.com/downloads/printer-drivers (administrator of the remote computer).
5. On the facility server, set the default printer settings. For more information, see Define Default Printer Settings (administrator of the remote computer).

   Important: To ensure that your device settings are applied when printing and that all users have the same device settings, you must define the settings for the device on the Windows Server where the Loftware NiceLabel driver is installed. For more information, see Define Default Printer Settings

6. In the facility, create a new remote site. For more information, see Configure a Remote Site (Spectrum administrator or Device Admin).
7. On the facility server, install the Loftware Print Agent. For more information, see Install the Loftware Print Agent (Spectrum administrator or Device Admin and administrator of the remote computer).
8. In the facility, do the following (Spectrum administrator or Device Admin):
   1. In Devices , open the newly synced Loftware device.
   2. Add the new Remote Site to the Remote Site field.
   3. Select the device from the Device Name field.
   4. Click Save .

   Tip: When you associate a Remote Site with a device at a facility, the syncing for the device is disabled automatically to prevent headquarters from syncing and removing the Remote Site-device relationship.
