AUTOPRINT is synonymous with heavy duty construction features. The four-head print station and integrated image controller are embedded in a stainless steel housing. Each print module has long sturdy “skis” that guide the arton being printed to the print station while protecting the printheads. The angled skis are reversible to the direction of carton flow.
There are two basic models or configurations of AUTOPRINT. First, the low profile four-head model is designed for printing near the bottom of shipping cartons. It will print I 2-of-5 barcodes that are 2 inches high and placed 1 ¼ inches from the bottom of the carton as required by many supply chains. In addition, for applications that require a larger message or graphic up to 4 inches tall, an 8 pen model with is available with AUTOPRINT.
An operator friendly Windows PC control panel is used to configure, align, test, regulate and monitor print modules during setup and operation. It allows you to see the status of each print module and what will be printed on each carton. Status menus provide piece counts, print rate, clock setting and the amount of ink remaining in each cartridge. WYSIWYG barcode software makes it easy to create the message, formats, fonts, multi-lingual text, graphcs and barcodes for the products being packaged.
The Aloaha Autoprint Folder is a great feature to automate PDF generation or hard-copy production of existing PDF Documents. Per default it is the folder autoprintin your installation folder.
The Autoprint folder is available in all PDF Suite SERVER editions!
In case you own our Enterprise/SDK License you can also use our Print API directly
NON PDF Documents
Every NON PDF Document dropped into the Aloaha Autoprint Folder will be automatically printed with the default windows printing handle to the default Windows printer. If this Printer is an Aloaha monitored Printer (such as the Aloaha PDF Printer) the job will be automatically converted to PDF.
The default Windows printing handler can be re-configured by filetype in HKCUSoftwareAloahapdfautoprint and/or HKLMSoftwareAloahapdfautoprint.
PDF Documents
Every PDF Document dropped into the autoprint folder will be printed by the Aloaha PDF Printing Engine to the printer configured as hardcopy printer in Aloaha. If that printer is not configured the default printer will be used. Full Duplex printing can be enabled/disabled with HKLMSoftwareAloahapdfPrintDuplex. Valid values for PrintDuplex are 0, 1 or 2.
It is also possible to apply a letterhead to the PDF files to be printed. Just open the letterhead dialog and enable “Use letterhead for autoprint folder”.

Autoprint Command
It is also possible to embed the automation command autoprint into your PDF. Aloaha will copy the generated document automatically to the autoprint directory!
Subdirectories
It is possible to create subdirectories in the autoprint folder. These directories must have the same name as the hardcopy printer to be used. For example if you create a subdirectory hp500 every PDF dropped here will be printed to the hp500 printer connected to your system. In case you have to use network printer please put the server name in brackets before the name. For example gatehp500 would translate into (gate)hp500.
Registry Settings
In some cases it is required that a PDF dropped into the autoprint folder should be printed incl. a letterhead. In that case please point HKLMSoftwareAloahapdfautoprintLetterHead to a PDF file which should be used as Letterhead.
HKLMSoftwareAloahapdfautoprintRenderLetterHead must be set to “1” to enable this feature!
By default Aloaha uses its own inbould PDF printing engine to send PDF printouts to the hardcopy printer. In some cases it might be required to use the Adobe Reader as the print engine. To enable this feature please set in the registry HKLMSoftwareAloahaPDFForceAdobePrint to “1” (String). The Aloaha Process needs to be restarted afterwards.
Autoprint Pro Free
For the autoprint folder to work Aloaha has to be configured in non interactive mode (Server Mode)!
