Auto-update for Printer Agent

This feature automatically updates the Printer Agent. The agent must be manually updated on the January 2022 release date.

After the Printer Agent has been manually updated with the 2022.01 update, all future utility updates are done automatically based on these options:
  • Auto-update through Windows Service – You must specify the ServiceName field in the printer agent properties file before starting the Windows Service to activate the auto-update process of Printer Agent.
  • Auto-update through GUI – A notification is displayed upon log in that a new version of Printer Agent is available. Click the Update button in the settings tab of Printer Agent to activate the auto-update process.
  • Auto-update through command line – In the command line, go to the printer agent directory and execute “java -Xmx(##)m -XX:-TieredCompilation -jar printagent.jar -c <printagent.properties> -u. The -Xmx(##)m is the memory allocation.
    Note:  For more details, see the Printer Agent section of the Mobile Supply Chain Management and POU Administration Guide.
