FREE ZebraNet Bridge Offers Easier Printer Integration and Management.

Integrating and maintaining remote Zebra printers in a distributed environment is now easier than ever with our new ZebraNet Bridge utility. This new software utility leverages the power of ZebraLink to offer advanced and enhanced centralized printer and print server management. Learn more at http://www.zebra.com/PA/Connectivity/product_ZPM.htm.

ZebraNet Bridge merges printer and print server management capabilities (such as WebView and ZebraNet Alert) within a single, easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) with a familiar, Windows®-like look-and-feel for simpler viewing and control. Most importantly, valuable enhancements to our existing utility functionality make it easier than ever to add Zebra printers to your existing enterprise.

  • Speed large-scale implementation or single printer additions with faster and easier setup of multiple printers and print servers, just by copying and pasting settings, alerts, and objects from printer to printer.
  • Increase help desk efficiency and cost effectiveness by managing printers from one screen in logical groups by department or distribution center.
  • Download firmware and files more easily for quick troubleshooting and printer recovery using the application’s simple GUI.
  • Reduce downtime and its related costs by immediately identifying a downed or troubled printer via “heartbeat” monitoring and status indicators.

To enjoy all these benefits from any ZebraLink-enabled printer with a ZebraNet print server, simply download the free utility from our Web site.

Count on Zebra for ongoing releases of reliable printer management solutions to help improve your business. ZebraNet Bridge is just the beginning! To learn more about ZebraNet Bridge, click here.
