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, prompt users through LCD

menu commands & 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:
