Beginner

Out of Box Behaviour

Your app should work with the Zebra Printer you specify. It should work with that printer if the printer is brand new out of the box. Not all printers have the same default behaviors. The default settings may not meet the needs of your application.

Beginner

Stability

The app should not crash or freeze when attempting to print. This includes failure to print without notifying the user of cause.

Intermediate

Security

Communication to a printer should be treated as a potential security risk. Follow security best practices for your organization or customers. The printers are open to most communication by default.

Beginner

Format

Customers want their printouts to be easy to read and scan. They also want their branding to be noticeable.

Beginner

Language

Zebra printers support several different formatting languages. Different printers use different default formatting languages.

Beginner

Status

The status will tell you if the printer is ready to print or in an error state.

Intermediate

Display Printer Error Status

The user should be alerted to status issues with the printer. They should not have to look at the printer to find this out.

Beginner

Performance

Printer performance is measured on several factors. Time to print (the time between user activating the print action and the printer starting to print) and mobile printer battery life are some of the most important performance issues that are affected by software interaction
