History
• We printed labels from OCLC Connexion
• If we needed labels from Millennium, we hand typed them into the OCLC Label Program.
• Our printer was a Lexmark Dot Matrix Pin fed printer

Our Goals
• Print directly from Millennium and Connexion to the same printer
• Each cataloger could have his/her own printer
• Printing could be done in the stacks by students to replace faded labels

Software
• Print Wizard Server Edition is a product that can enhance and adapt the output from Millennium on its way to the printer.
• In order to get PWSE involved in the printing process, it must be inserted into the “printing pipeline” that flows from Millennium to the printer.

Software (cont.)
• It was a little tricky but we received good help directly from Bob Rasmussen as needed.
• The Print Wizard Server Edition has to be installed on each computer that will be used to print from. – In order to get the print data from
Millennium to Print Wizard, Print Wizard needs to use its "listen mode", which is a feature that is in Server Edition only.

Software (cont.)
• The general setup involves installing a printer, setting its port to be a local TCP/IP port, running Print Wizard to listen for print jobs on that port and then setting the application up to print to that particular TCP/IP address and port.
• This is called “localhost” printing.

Setting Print Options
• Printer must be set up in the Print Wizard Program to select font, font style, and font size. There is a file in the Print Wizard Program that is customized to the label stock you use.
• In Millennium the Label Printer must be set to access the local printer and some parameters set.

• We have a student come 2 hours per week to replace labels as needed in the stacks
• Catalogers love these printers.
