Zebra Basic Interpreter (ZBI) 2.0
Use ZBI to create custom controlsand interpret non-Zebraformatted datafrom other applications, systems,
and data input devices (scanners, keyboards, scales, etc.).
Customize and enhance the printer using the ZBI 2.0 programming language. ZBI 2.0 allows Zebra printers
to run applications and take input from scales, scanners, and other peripherals without a PC or network
connection. ZBI 2.0 works with the ZPL printer command language so that printers can understand non-
ZPL data streams and convert them into labels. That means the Zebra printer can create barcodes and
text from input received, non-ZPL label formats, sensors, keyboards, and peripherals. Printers can also be
programmed to interact with PC-based database applications to retrieve information to be used on printed
labels.
• ZBI 2.0 can be activated by ordering a ZBI 2.0 Key Kit or activated by purchasing a key from Zebra.
• Use the ZBI Key Manager (also known as ZDownloader utility) to apply the key.
• An intuitive ZBI-Developer is used to create, test, and distribute ZBI 2.0 applications. The built-in virtual
printer allows you to quickly create, test, and prepare programs for use.
Go to the Zebra Web site and search for Zebra Basic Interpreter 2.0. See zebra.com/software.
Setting the Power Failure Recovery Mode Jumper
The printer can be configured to restart itself after a power failure, unattended, with the Power Failure
Recovery Mode set.
• Remove the power supply cable from the back of the printer.
• Remove any attached printer interface cables.
NOTE:
The Power Failure Recovery Mode is only available on printers with a Printer Connectivity Module
installed in the printer.
The Printer Connectivity Modules have a Power Failure Recovery jumper set to OFF. With the
jumper set to ON, the printer will automatically Power ON when plugged into an active (ON) AC
power source.
1. Remove the module access door and connectivity module. See Configuring Wired Connectivity Options
and Power Failure Recovery Mode on page 41 for 'Removing a Connectivity Module Card' instructions.
