Extending Zebra® Printer Capabilities with ZBI 2.0™ Programming03/10/2008249 Kb
 
Description:  Zebra Basic Interpreter (ZBI) 2.0 is an optional programming environment that can be used to add features to customize and enhance the performance of select Zebra Technologies printers. This white paper provides an overview of ZBI 2.0 capabilities, requirements, use cases and benefits.  
 
Full Abstract:  Processors resident within label printers can be used for more than just printing. ZBI 2.0 applications work with the printer's processor and the label formatting language so that the printer can recognize and process data streams, including input from database applications, scanners, scales and other common data sources.

With ZBI 2.0 programming, organizations can avoid the expense and complications of using PCs to direct their printing operations, while gaining more control over the operator interface and interaction with peripheral devices and applications. This white paper provides an overview of these capabilities and how to take advantage of them.
