About the Print Gateway Service |
The Print Gateway service connects BarTender Cloud to the local printers that are connected to your computer and to the printers that are shared by other users within your account. It runs on your computer and registers your printers with BarTender Cloud. Then, when BarTender Cloud processes a print job, the service sends print data to your printers over the internet.
Installing this service is optional, but if it is not installed, BarTender Cloud cannot find your printers. You can still generate PDF files and send those to your printers manually, but your optimized print code generation, your printer settings, and metadata (such as RFID encoding) will not be used.
Before you install the Print Gateway service:
-
The BarTender Print Gateway service is a Windows-based service and can only be installed on a system running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
-
