you the tools in the palm of your hand to easily configure all your Print DNA printers. Match this with the Security Assessment Wizard to uncover security vulnerabilities and compare your printer settings against security best practices, so you can make changes based on your conditions to increase protection. And much, much more… add options and accessorise your Zebra Alongside the usual gamut of media handling options that you would expect from your desktop provider, it’s now possible to turn your desktop printer into a portable solution. Zebra also has a comprehensive mobile printer portfolio. While those offerings lack thermal transfer and 300dpi resolution, it’s now possible to take your printer to where the action is and untether from the plug by adding the battery accessory and maybe the carry case for your ZD400 or ZD600 Series desktop printers. Every printer purchase is really a software purchase in disguise. Perhaps the biggest transformative move that we have seen in the industry since the launch of the G-Series back in 2008 has been with the advance of software solutions. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of Link-OS, Zebra’s one-of-a-kind enterprise printer operating system, and our ecosystem of software applications, Print DNA. Print DNA is the genetic code that transforms printers with business-catalytic capabilities. The unique combination of innovative applications, utilities and developer tools produces high performing, remotely manageable printers that are easy to integrate, ensuring Zebra Link-OS printers provide a superior printing experience. Visibility within a customer’s print fleet, data, insights and metrics, along with the ability for full-featured remote management of the print base, is where we see the single biggest benefit to our partners and their customers. This is why Zebra has been aggressively working with these leading MPS solution providers and partners to enable thermal printers to be managed in the exact same way. We want our customers to have the option to have their thermal printers fully managed by themselves, a third party or as part of an MPS agreement already in place for other printing devices. In other words, your entire thermal printing solution can now be procured “as-a-service” versus the traditional transactional sales model. That’s huge!
