Also the following link further down on the same page is broken : https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra/manuals/printers/common/program…

Please follow this document for setting up your own webservices - Link-OS SDK for WebServices. There are a few more links about how to configure and use the weblink on the printer.

Thank you, I have found that document earlier but it doesn't help.

Actions so far :
- I sent in my certificate for signing
- I was told I could do self-signing which is better (I agree)

Next Steps and what I'm unclear about :
- I can do self-signing
- 1. HOW do I load the certificate into the printer
- 2. HOW do I set the printer to point to my server

Regards

1. Yes, you can get the self-signing certificates from the other certificate authority. Then you would need to install the cert files from the chosen certification authority on your own server and on the printer as well. So that the authentication can be established.

2. Please refer to the Best Practices - Certificates section of PrintSecure Printer Administration Guide - Zebra Technologies for the instructions on how to install the cert files on the printer. You would need to refer to the documentation of your chosen webserver about where to install the cert files on the server.

3. Once you have the server setup, you would have a URL that the printer can point to. To configure the weblink on the printer to point to the specific websocket URL, please use the following JSON command to send the URL to the printer to configure the weblink.ip.conn1.location. The JSON string can be sent to the printer as a file by using the Printer Setup Utility for Windows, Android or iOS

{}{
"weblink.logging.max_entries":"500",
"weblink.ip.conn1.location":"Your webservices URL the printer should point to",
"device.reset":"1"
}

I referred to your document to deploy the certificate to the printer. After sending the command(Zebra Setup Utilities, Open Communication With printer) to printer, no response received from printer, and the file deployment also failed. Is the command I sent wrong? What should I do?
