This section will disable the current device language or printer emulation, install the new printer emulation, and enable it all within a single feature. When you install a printer emulation, you are sending the
.NRD
(or
.ZPL
) file to the printer.
After the files are sent to the printer, the Printer Emulation appears in the Emulation drop-down menu.
Once you have completed a firmware update or a firmware and printer emulation update, you may need to reconnect your mobile device to the printer. You are prompted to do so if necessary.
To install the printer emulation:
From the Printer Dashboard, tap
Settings

After enabling a printer emulation, most menu options in the Printer Setup Utility are disabled.
