Note: The Loftware Connector for Oracle connects directly into the Oracle database, so application compatibility is driven by the underlying database being used. For example, if your E-Business application is running on top of Oracle 11g, LCfOr v4.0 or later is required.
The Loftware Connector Console requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 10.0 or later with JavaScript enabled or Mozilla Firefox Version 18.0 or later with JavaScript enabled.
See Connector Compatibility Matrix on the Print Server Specifications page for LPS compatibility.
