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:
