New ZebraLink™ Solutions: Expanding the Power of Zebra Printers to Help Run Your Business Better.

Zebra’s powerful printing solutions have been helping businesses run better for more than 35 years. Now, our ZebraLink Solutions family of networking, software, and firmware products expands the power of Zebra® printers to help your business work even better, faster, more profitably.

To see how ZebraLink Solutions make your printers easier to integrate and use – and your return on investment even greater -- just take a look at our newest products:

With new ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprise, your IT staff can centrally deploy, manage, and monitor distributed Zebra printers throughout your enterprise from a single PC screen anywhere on your global network. Configure an entire population of Zebra printers in about the same time needed to set up one printer! Click here for details, free demo, and white paper.

New ZebraDesigner™ Pro label design software package makes it simple to design and print labels to Zebra stationary and mobile printers using database information. Thanks to a new user interface, creating labels using text, bar codes, or RFID tags is easier than ever! To download a free demo and learn more, click here.

Our expanded APL™ (Alternate Programming Language) series saves your system administrators time by enabling them to replace your existing, competitive printers with powerful Zebra models without having to redevelop label formats. Learn more.

Customers who tested these new tools found them the easiest to use, and saved significant time in printer integration and management. Ask your Zebra authorized reseller to recommend the right ZebraLink Solutions for your business.

 
 

Keep Data Safe with the First Mobile Printers with VPN and WPA Wireless Security.

Now, Zebra mobile wireless printers not only improve productivity and customer service by printing at the point-of-activity, but also provide an even safer, private connection to your network.

That’s because we’ve just announced that Zebra mobile printers will be the first direct thermal wireless mobile printers that support virtual private networks (VPNs) -- considered one of the most secure ways to protect data that is transmitted over a wireless network -- and Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), which provides strong data protection through encryption and user authentication.

With our secure mobile/wireless printers, you’ll minimize the risk of security threats and associated business recovery costs. And, since international growth in wireless networks continues at a rapid pace, you’ll also be able to safely extend your applications globally.

Learn more about wireless security on our new Web page, where you can download frequently asked questions and our new white paper, “Closing the Loop: Extending Wireless LAN Security to Wireless Printers.”

Zebra’s Solution for Printing International Characters from mySAP™ Business Suite (Unicode™ UTF-8)
Zebra has made multi-language label printing easier for mySAP Business Suite users by offering support for Unicode (UTF-8) on eight different models of its bar code label printers. Using a Unicode-enabled Zebra printer, users of SAP solutions can create and print labels that contain information in many languages and use them in different regions of the world.
