Best Practices<\/h1>\n

Of the four main integration options<\/a> for eFORMz, virtual printer<\/strong> is the recommended method for capturing QAD ERP\u00a0application output. This requires the following:<\/p>\n

“Add eFORMz as a new printer in your software\u00a0application. Your application prints to the eFORMz virtual printer, which captures the print stream as a file. eFORMz combines and formats the file, possibly with data from additional sources for output to a thermal or laser printer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Linux<\/h2>\n

Many QAD ERP\u00a0users run on Linux. Configuring eFORMz for Linux\u00a0would first involve\u00a0enabling the\u00a0TCP\/IP Print Server for LPD Communication<\/a>. From there,\u00a0setting up the eFORMz Port Monitor<\/a> and adding eFORMz as a new printer in QAD would be necessary. Once this is configured, run the process and use any test files sent from the\u00a0QAD ERP system\u00a0to the selected input folder<\/a>.<\/p>\n
