ZBI 2.0™ — Zebra Basic Interpreter
Customize and enhance your printer with ZBI 2.0™ optional programming
language. ZBI 2.0 allows Zebra printers to run applications and 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.
ZBI 2.0 can be activated by ordering a ZBI 2.0 Key Kit, or activated by purchasing a key from
the ZBI 2.0 store at www.zebrasoftware.com
.
Use the ZDownloader utility to apply the key. Zdownloader is available on the users CD or at
the Zebra Web site: www.zebra.com
.
An intuitive ZBI-Developer™ programming utility is used to create, test and
distribute ZBI 2.0 applications is available on the users CD or at the Zebra Web site:
