Pocket edition of the labeling software, which processes the label data, prepares a batch
command file (.JOB file) and transmits the data over TCP/IP protocol to middleware
integration application running on the server. Based on the data scanned from the bar
code the print engine queries the enterprise database and prints the label with the
specified data.
The TCP/IP socket trigger enables mobile wireless data collection devices or UNIX
applications to send label requests to middleware integration server. UNIX applications
do not need to use FTP or Telnet to drop a file to a Windows server in order to trigger a
label printing event.
