Zebra ZT230 Printers with Android devices
Hello,
At my company, I am having some issues with integrating our ZT230 label printers with android devices such as a phone or in this case a Zebra handheld computer scanner device.
We use an inventory management application called Plex Manufacturing Cloud. They have an app called Plex Mobile for android devices. You can "add" printers in the application but you're really only putting in its information like IP address etc. and finding out if it works later which it doesn't.
That's why I decided to try to be able to see one of the printers on the device itself to see if I can even see one. I tried adding a printer with the IP address but the address could not be found. I know 100% that I entered the right address. There is not any zebra plug ins to actually help you add one in. I can only see our HP or Ricoh printers.
I called Zebra support and asked about the certain device in question, which is a MC 9300 mobile computer. They told me it would require an application in order to connect to their ZEBRA printers with their ZEBRA computer. But guess what? They don't provide an app to do so! They told me either companies make the app themselves in-house or use a 3rd party app. Basically, they don't have a clue at all.
Anyone have experience with this? A note: these printers are not Bluetooth compatible so any steps using Bluetooth will not help.
Thanks
