Hello.
I can't seem to find the documentation that goes in depth into the Weblink message exchange. Can you help me find it?
I am planning to either use .NET or JAVA to host my own Websocket server.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris, were you looking for the websocket handshaking, or the data message API? If you plan to use Java, you can easily use our weblink servlet with the PC SDK. I'll dig up more documentation on this outside the SDK.
For .NET, you have to create your own websocket server to take connections from the printers. Websockets are now fairly standard and .NET does have built in libraries for it as well as several 3rd party Libraries. I use the 3rd party stuff right now myself.
The printers use standards for secure websocket connections. Once you have the handshaking and websocket connection, you can bidirectionally send and receive raw data just like TCP. We do recommend you use the JSON based communication for getting status and settings of the printer.
Hope this helps, Robin West
