Zebra ZC300 Operating System (OS)

Hi,

We are implementing printer monitoration for the ZC300 and one information that we would like to get from the device is the Operating System (Name and Version).

But looking at the Link-OS PC-Card SDK there is not a field that we could get such information.

 

Do you know what Operational System this device runs on?

And there is any way that we could get that information via Card SDK ?

 

Best regards.

The firmware on card printers is completely different from the firmware on label printers and it doesn't adopt the Link-OS architecture from label printers. Card printers do not have the Link-OS in its firmware, even though the card printer's SDK is bundled together with the SDKs for Link-OS printers. The firmware version is the only info for the firmware the card printers operate on.

There a few APIs you may want to try for getting the printer information. The printer firmware information should be in one of the settings returned from getAllSettings() API.

getPrinterInformation() - Method in interface com.zebra.sdk.common.card.device.DeviceUtil

Returns the printer's specific device information.

getPrinterModel() - Method in class com.zebra.sdk.common.card.graphics.ZebraCardGraphics

Returns the printer model.

getAllSettings() - Method in interface com.zebra.sdk.settings.SettingsProvider

Retrieve all settings and their attributes.

getAllSettingValues() - Method in interface com.zebra.sdk.settings.SettingsProvider

Retrieves all of the device's setting values.

Hi,

 

Thank you for the information.

We found the place that returns the firmware version:

ZebraCardPrinter.getPrinterInformation().firmwareVersion

 

Now what we are looking for is the information of the name and version of the operational system that the device runs.

For example, for the label devices like the ZT231, we know that is something like this: Link-OS v6.7 (from: SGD "appl.link_os_version")

 

What would be the equivalent of "Link-OS v6.7" for the ZC300? It looks like the ZC300 does not run on Link-OS.

We didn't find anything related to the Operational System on the SDK, only the firmware version.

 

Best regards.
