Bridge — ZebraNet

Bridge is a software program that works with the
10/100 Internal PS and enhances the features of ZebraLink resident within ZPL-based printers.
The features include the following:
• ZebraNet
TM
Bridge allows you to locate printers automatically. ZebraNet
TM
Bridge
searches on parameters such as IP address, subnet, printer model, printer status, and
many other user-defined characteristics.
• Remote Configuration — Manage all your Zebra label printers throughout the
enterprise without having to travel to remote sites or physically handle any printers.
Any Zebra printer connected to the enterprise network can be accessed from the
ZebraNet
TM
Bridge interface and configured remotely through an easy-to-use
graphical user interface.
• Printer Alerts, Status, Heartbeat Monitoring and event Notification — ZebraNet
TM
Bridge lets you configure multiple event alerts per device with different alerts directed
to different people. Receive alerts and notifications by e-mail, cell phone/pager, or
through the ZebraNet
TM
Bridge Events tab. View alerts by printer or group, and filter
by date/time, severity, or trigger.
• Configure and Copy Printer Profiles — Copy and paste settings from one printer to
another or broadcast them to an entire group. ZebraNet Bridge allows you to copy
printer settings, printer-resident files (formats, fonts, and graphics), and alerts with a
click of the mouse. Create printer profiles—virtual “golden printers”—with desired
settings, objects, and alerts, and clone or broadcast them as if they were real printers,
providing extensive savings in setup time. Printer profiles are also an excellent way to
back up a printer’s configuration for crisis recovery.
