ZBI 2.0 Zebra Basic Interpreter

Customize and enhance your printer with ZBI 2.0 optional programming language, ZBI 2.0 allows Zebra printers to run applications and take input from scales, scanners, and other peripherals—all 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 bar codes 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 the ZBI 2.0 store at zebrasoftware.com.
Use the ZDownloader utility to apply the key. Zdownloader is available on the Zebra web site at zebra.com.
An intuitive ZBI-Developer programming utility is used to create, test, and distribute ZBI 2.0 applications available on the Zebra web site: zebra.com.
