Marketing description

Customize and enhance your Zebra printers with ZBI 2.0. Available as an optional programming language, ZBI 2.0 allows Zebra printers to run applications, prompt users through control-panel commands & take input from scales, scanners and other peripherals - all without a PC or network connection. ZBI 2.0 works with the ZPL printer command language so that printers can understand non-ZPL data streams and convert them into labels. That means the Zebra printer can create bar codes and text from input received, non-ZPL label formats, sensors, keyboards and peripherals. Printers can also be programmed to interact with PC based database applications to retrieve information to be used on printed labels.

Key selling points

• Directly connect the printer to a bar code scanner, scale or keyboard
• Convert proprietary data streams into printable labels
• Operate the printer as a stand-alone station without the added expense of a PC
• Use the printer's network interface to perform real-time database lookups and updates
• Program printers to display operator prompts based on captured data
