PrinterZebra

Enterprise Browser 2.5

Overview

The PrinterZebra API provides Zebra-specific API access to Zebra's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network printers, and to Zebra USB-capable printers for Android and Windows Mobile. This API inherits all methods, properties and constants from the Printer API.

Enabling the API

There are two methods of enabling the Printer API:

  • Include all 'ebapi' modules
  • Include only the required API modules

Both methods are explained below.

Either way, the included files will be from: /Enterprise Browser/JavaScript Files/Enterprise Browser, a directory on the computer that contains the Enterprise Browser installation.

Include all JS API modules

To include all JavaScript APIs, copy the ebapi-modules.js file to a location accessible by the app's files and include the JavaScript modules file in the app. For instance, to include the modules file in the index.html, copy the modules file to the same directory as the index.html and add the following line to the HEAD section of the index.html file:


<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi-modules.js"></script>

This will define the EB class within the page. Note that the path for this file is relative to the current page (index.html). Any page on which the modules are required will need to have the required .js file(s) included in this fashion.

Include only the required modules

To include individual APIs, include the ebapi.js in your HTML, and then the additional required API file(s). For instance, to use the Printer API, add the following code to the HTML file(s). Again, this assumes that relevant API files have been copied to the same directory as the HTML.


<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="eb.printer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="eb.printerzebra.js"></script>

In the code lines above, notice that ebapi.js is included first, followed by eb.printer.js and eb.printer.js, which are the Printer APIs required for Enterprise Browser to output to Zebra printers. This coding is required on each HTML page whenever an individual API will be called from that page.

                      searchPrinters(HASH options)

                      Searches for printers connected to the device via Bluetooth(R), Wi-Fi or USB. To reduce search times, it is highly recommended that searches for wireless connections be done by specific MAC address (Bluetooth) or IP address (Wi-Fi). This method also can be used to retrieve the printerID for a known Bluetooth or network printer specifying the deviceAddress options parameter. Result is returned asynchronously using a callback called for each discovered printer. Search is finished if printerID is not set in callback hash. Note that discovery is not guaranteed to return all the available devices. It is therefore recommended that this method run 2-3 times for maximum accuracy.

                      Note: On certain Android devices, calling searchPrinters() over Bluetooth or TCP can cause the application to freeze momentarily or to display an alert that "The application has stopped responding." In such cases, it is recommended that the user tap the "Continue waiting" button.

                      Parameters

                      • options : HASH Optional

                        Options for discover.

                        • printerType : STRING Optional Default: PRINTER_TYPE_ANY

                          **Printer types to search**. Make sure that Printer type is supported by calling enumerateSupportedTypes method.

                        • connectionType : STRING Optional Default: CONNECTION_TYPE_ANY

                          Interfaces for search (Bluetooth/TCP/All).

                        • timeout : INTEGER Optional Default: 30000

                          **Maximum search interval in milliseconds, applies to network discovery**. This is the maximum interval for wait during connection attempt. Note that if no printer was found, even with timeout property, status will be set to PRINTER_STATUS_SUCCESS, but without any printerId.

                        • deviceAddress : STRING Optional

                          **Printer address (MAC, device serial number or IP address)** can be used for setting either subnet mask or full address of printer. For TCP if address is not specified /8 subnet will be used for search.

                        • devicePort : INTEGER Optional Default: 6101

                          Override default printer port number. Applicable for network discovery only.

                          • PRINTER_STATUS_ERROR - general error
                          • PRINTER_STATUS_ERR_UNSUPPORTED - in case if printer type is not supported
                          • PRINTER_STATUS_ERR_NOT_CONNECTED - in case if deviceAddress was specified in options and device was unable to connect to printer.

                          • printerID : STRING Optional

                            Printer ID, valid only if status equals = 'PRINTER_STATUS_SUCCESS'. If no more printers are available, printerID will be undefined.

                          • message : STRING Optional

                        storeImage(STRING printerDriveAndFileName, STRING imageFilePathOnDevice, INTEGER width, INTEGER height)

                        Stores the specified image to the connected printer as a monochrome image. Works asynchronously; use callback to check the result. The image will be stored on the printer at printerDriveAndFileName with the extension GRF. If a drive letter is not supplied, E will be used as the default (e.g. FILE becomes E:FILE.GRF). If an extension is supplied, it is ignored (E:FILE.BMP becomes E:FILE.GRF). Note that if the image resolution is large (e.g. 1024x768) this method may take a long time to execute. There are device OS limitations on supported file formats and image sizes. Android and WM support only JPG and PNG files. WM can fail to handle large (>1024x1024 pixel) images.

                          Desired height of the printed image, in dots. Passing -1 will preserve original height.

                          Connection status flag. All other properties are valid only if isConnect = true. Note: This property does not guarantee a real connection, because all real device functionality is processed in separate thread asynchronously. For a real physical connection, use requestState() method with receive result in the callback. This is the only guaranteed method of processing real requests to the device and analyzing answers from the device.

                          Remarks

                          Android Notes

                          • To use a Bluetooth connection on Android devices, take into account the following preconditions: Before using the printer, pair it using the Android system Bluetooth settings.
                          • When calling searchPrinters() with Bluetooth search (with CONNECTION_TYPE_ANY or CONNECTION_TYPE_BLUETOOTH) then all Bluetooth nearby devices will be discovered. Ignore or cancel unwanted pairing requests to non-printer devices. This happens because non-printer devices cannot be detected until the device is paired. Zebra recommends including the Bluetooth address or Wi-Fi MAC Address when searching for printers.
                          • When calling searchPrinters() with USB search (with CONNECTION_TYPE_ANY or CONNECTION_TYPE_USB), configure the device's USB controller as "USB Host mode" and reboot device after the configuration. USB connection is not supported on the Zebra QLn320 printer. The searchPrinters method should not return any non-printer devices. If USB printers are not supported by the SDK or device, the searchPrinters function should return PRINTER_STATUS_ERR_UNSUPPORTED. For example, executing searchPrinters on an Android device with connectionType set to CONNECTION_TYPE_USB should return PRINTER_STATUS_ERR_UNSUPPORTED.

                          Windows Mobile Notes

                          • Requires a Printing Service application to be running.

                          • You should avoid navigating from the current page using the printer without disconnecting from the printer first. You can use the window.onunload event:

                            
                            window.onunload = function(){
                                printer.disconnect();
                            }
                            
                          • When calling searchPrinters() with Bluetooth search (with CONNECTION_TYPE_ANY or CONNECTION_TYPE_BLUETOOTH), all nearby Bluetooth devices will be discovered. Ignopre or cancel unwanted pairing requests to non-printers. This happens because non-printer devices cannot be detected until the device is paired.
