Hi guys,
I currently am using a Zebra TC77 along with a Zebra ZT411 at my workplace.
I have created a .zpl label which is stored on my Printer to print the receiving and expiry labels. The expiry labels are configured to set the date to exactly 7 days from the time of receiving date.
However, I would also like to add in the barcodes for every item we receive.
Instead of having to create an individual .zpl label and looking for the item name on my Print Station app on my Zebra Tc77 for all the individual items. Is there a way to incorporate a list/drop down function on the .zpl label file which could let me select the item name and proceed with my functions. and when I print the label the label could have the item name and the barcode associated with the reference number I have on the database excel sheet.

The Print Station is a simple app for a simple use case of printing labels based on label templates that are stored on either the Android device or on the printer. With the current implementation (for very simple use case), the user will have to fill out the fields of a template on the Print Station app before printing the label. If you want to have a more custom UI interface with dropdown selection, you would need to take a different approach. Instead of using the Print Station app, you can use the PrintConnect app. You create your own app that interacts with the PrintConnect app via Android intents. Then you can implement your own dropdown to fill out the fields of a template before printing. Here are more info about the PrintConnect and its developer guide.
