- everything which can be accomplished via this UI can also be acheived with the library code directly (more so in fact)
1 Automated Zebra Printer Discovery & Centralized Management /// 2 Zebra Printer Status And Activity Reports /// 3 ZPL Label Template Design + Preview + Deployment of New Styles /// 4 Manual Print Request Formulation For Any Printer + ZPL Combination Desired
the link to change ZDAY style can be found in the lower right of the home page
( this is fully user editable (modify the atomatically added entries, delete or add )
> links to clear the current json file, refresh from the default template, or save current edits to become active.
these can be restored if desired
( the top list are uneditable defaults, the bottom are user created )
( changes to the ZPL on this page produce a preview PNG of what the printer will print )
* Drafts can be saved, previewed as PNG, or sent to an available printer
Manual Print Request Success (including presenting link which can be used by other systems to print)
Often, I find these pages valuable in triaging a poorly behaving printer. I compare a well behaved printer to a problem one and see which settings are not in agreement.
* Darkness, Print Speed and Label Top often need editing.
* Media Type Must Be Set For Label Stock
* Almost always sensor=Web.
* Width and length should be edited if labels are printing off the label stock (auto calibration is not working in these cases)
* !! When you save changes to these pages, they are temporarily saved... you must go to the main setting page and apply all saved changes for them to take effect.
* Get MAC address here.
* Set static IP assignment here if needed, else DHCP
* Generally not a smooth thing to setup. It is quite hard to fuss with these settings remotely.
why not?
