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 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:
