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:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection Type | How the printer is connected: via the network (TCP) or serial. |
| “Static printer” | Check 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. |
| IP | Printer IP address (network connection). Available only if “Static printer” is enabled. |
| Port | Printer 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.
