Encoding over Ethernet
Overview
The ZXP Series 7 printer firmware, ZMotif SDK, and device drivers allow application
developers to use Zebra’s current USB based contact/contactless encoder module over the
Ethernet (wire or wireless).
Encoding over Ethernet functionality is enabled via the OCP; see Encoder Settings Menu
on page 61.
The host application interfaces communicate to the encoder as a local virtual USB device
(both from a device driver and connect/disconnect perspective).
This capability enables a single or multiple printers per Ethernet sub-net, and enables both
single-job printing and multiple-print job control per USB connection.
Encoding (both read and write) is supported for both contact and contactless smart card types:
• Contact smart cards include SLE5542 and SLE5528
• Contactless smart cards include MIFARE
® Ultralight, MIFARE® Classic 1K,
MIFARE
® Classic 4K, MIFARE® DESFire® 4K, and UHF.
