When you are using Asgard Labels, there are two services you may use to connect your printer to Acumatica. These services are Acumatica's DeviceHub and Asgard Cloud Print. Although both services are great in their respective uses, this article will go over the benefits of Asgard Cloud Print and why one may want to choose the latter over other services.
To understand the benefits, we might need to understand how Asgard Cloud Print works.
HOW DOES ASGARD CLOUD PRINT WORK?
With this hosted printing service, you can add remote printing to your application quickly, easily, and securely. The diagram below shows the structure of Asgard Cloud Print. Using event-driven software and sockets, Asgard Cloud Print sends your print job almost instantly to your printer. It might be limited by the size of your print job and your internet connection speed.
Benefits
Efficiency
Since Asgard Cloud Print has a client that will be installed on your system, it'll be able to detect automatically all the printers connected to your computer; thus, making it effortless to start using your printers to print your labels from Acumatica.
Security and Privacy
As mentioned, you will need to install a client on your system for Asgard Cloud Print to detect your printers. So, we place a high priority on security and privacy. We encrypt everything, we don't collect data we don't need and we never share your information with anyone. Asgard Alliance Inc uses PrintNode Service to print labels to your printers, meaning we abide by PrintNode's privacy policies. For more information, please refer to PrintNode Privacy Policy.
Print To Any Printer
Asgard Cloud Print supports all types of printers. Easily print labels, barcodes, receipts, or documents in PDF or RAW format (ZPL/EPL). We support DYMO, Zebra, HP, OKI, Epson, and countless other brands and types. Asgard Cloud Print gets its list of printers from your operating system - if your printer is installed on your computer, it will work.
RAW Printing
Asgard Cloud Print supports RAW printing for extra-fast, extra-robust label and barcode printing on Zebra and DYMO printers. You can send documents written in ZPL, EPL, or any other native printing language directly to your printer through the
Asgard Cloud Print API.
