Zebra Software

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Zebra’s plug-and-print, label design and connectivity software makes bar coding easy. Our intuitive label design software is simple to use, requiring no programming, and letting you quickly and easily create high quality bar code labels.

ZebraDesigner for XML offers both the label design features and printer configuration tools that enable printing on XML enabled printers. The easy to use variable wizard makes it simple to link variable information to text, bar code and RFID tags on the label. Graphics and fonts can be easily downloaded to the printer to accelerate throughput while allowing for label design flexibility.

With ZebraDesigner™ Label Design Software, you can easily design and modify label formats within a user-friendly graphical interface—and print directly from SAP’s mySAP™ Business Suite environment. This easy to use label design software makes it possible to print to your Zebra® printers from SAP® without the need for middleware or additional programming.

Leveraging the power of ZebraLink, ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise allows your IT staff to centrally deploy, manage, and monitor your Zebra printers from a single PC screen anywhere on your global network. Installation and configuration is fast right out of the box. And management is incredibly quick and simple thanks to the Windows-like graphical user interface with drag-and-drop functionality and wizard assistance. The result? Reduced IT administrative time and costs and more printer uptime.
