Cloud Status Transfer Object

Use the Status Transfer Object to read the connection status of a Wolke printer. It does not send a print job—for that, use the Wolke Printer Transfer Object.

After double-clicking the transfer object, configure the following properties:

PropertyDescription
Connection TypeHow the printer is connected: via the network (TCP) or serial.
Static printerCheck this box if you always want to query the same printer. If the checkbox is not selected, the connection data is passed to the object at runtime.
IPPrinter IP address (network connection). Available only if Static printer is enabled.
PortPrinter port (network connection). Available only when Static printer is enabled.
Timeout (ms)Time in milliseconds that the connection attempt is allowed to take before a connection error is returned.

For a serial connection, the IP and port are replaced by the serial settings: COM port, baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and flow control.

Values of the transfer object

The transfer object returns the connection status as two output values:

  • whether a connection to the printer exists ( ) and * the status of the connection.

If Static printer is not enabled, the connection data is added as input values. Specify these values in the flow, e.g., from a constant, a variable, or a database.
