Overview

Mobile printers do not have an internal print server. The Status tab of a mobile printer does not display Quick Status. Request Detailed Status or Port Status by clicking Refresh.

Summary Tab

Because mobile printers do not respond to discovery requests, status icons for mobile printers in the Summary tab will always have a white background.

Visual Alerts

Because mobile printers do not have alerts, the Visual Alerts tab will not display alerts.

Maintenance TabThe Maintenance tab is for use with printers that offer ZPL-based odometers.

Working with Card Printers

Select card printers may be managed with ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise, however, there are several inherent differences in how card printers work with the application. These differences are outlined below.

Group Management Window

Management of card printers in the Group Management window is accomplished similarly to management of tabletop and desktop printers. However, card printer settings may not be viewed and changed in the Group Management Window. Print server settings and alerts are available.

Profile Management

Profiles may be created for Zebra card printers, however, only the print server settings will be included in the printers profile.

Events Tab

Print server alerts may be received and displayed in the events tab. Card printers do not support printer alerts.

Status Tab

Quick status and Port status panes will display status similar to tabletop and desktop printers. The Detailed Status pane, upon refresh will display limited card printer status information.
