[en] A majority of mission-critical services running on Web servers include key concerns of Internet access and availability. The availability includes two potential issues:
-
[en] Server availability
-
[en] Client Internet access
[en] NiceLabelWeb Printing application is running as a client named NiceLabel Web Client. Active Internet connection is necessary to run the application in online mode. Web Printing also supports offline mode, so you can run your applications even without the Internet connection. In this case, Web Printing application is installed on the local disk and runs as a standalone application.
[en] Install the NiceLabel Web Client. It serves as a reliable backup for times when your Internet connection fails and prevents server access.
注意
[en] Start your Web Client while offline to enter offline mode. If you lose your internet connection while running the Web Client, an error occurs. Restart your Web Client to enter offline mode.
[en] The offline client loads the latest version of the form, label template, and label data (if connected to a database).
[en] If the client has no Internet access, the application opens the form and label template that were used during the last session. Database data is limited to the last database table used or the last queried data batch that was displayed when the client was used with an Internet connection.
[en] Web Printing logs all printing activities to the Control Center. When the Internet connection fails, and the user uses the offline client to print, the log of print events is not lost. The next time the user is connected to the Internet and opens the offline printing client, the past printing activity log is uploaded to the Control Center.
[en] By default, the user can run the application in offline mode for a maximum of 24 hours.
[en] While the user is in the offline mode, the information about printing events is still collected and all data is kept locally. When the connection to the Control Center server is re-established all logs are sent back to NiceLabelControl Center.
[en] Information about user print events is not lost.
