Original Press Release:
Loftware Announces the Oracle Connector
YORK, MAINE - February 15, 2003 - The Oracle Connector streamlines the label printing from Oracle databases by eliminating the need for complex processes. Administrators will find the Oracle Connector interface familiar and easy to use. The new Oracle Connector by Loftware connects Oracle applications (8i and above) to bar code label printing operations by providing direct communication via TCP/IP. Any operating system that supports TCP/IP can communicate directly to the Loftware Print Server using the Oracle Connector.
The Oracle Connector installed on an Oracle Database Server connects via a socket interface to the Loftware Print Server, which resides on a Windows Server. This java-based application, initiates the label using a stored procedure. Data is pushed from the Oracle database and sent to the Loftware Print Server (LPS). Once LPS receives the data, labels are printed at high speed and the Oracle application is notified of print status.
Scalability testing included over 60 users printing to 600 different printers, the Connector proved to be a dependable, solid solution. In exhaustive testing, the Oracle Connector showed no degradation in quality or speed when used in large scale printing environments. The Oracle Connector feature is included in the Loftware Enterprise Print Server, Version 7.1. For further information visit www.loftware.com or call your Loftware Representative at 207-363-3195.
