Printers accept XML data without middleware

The XML-enabled Z series printers can accept and parse incoming XML data streams directly from Oracle’s warehouse management system (WMS) and mobile supply chain applications (MSCA) without middleware or additional printer server hardware. ZebraDesigner for XML label design software features easy-to-use design features that leverage scalable fonts, printer-native bar codes, RFID support and Unicode support. In addition, users can create sample XML data streams, necessary to test new designs. Included are pre-loaded templates for the most popular sizes of labels, tickets and tags, plus an interface with a drag-and-drop bar code tool for fast design and formatting.
