The Link-OS Multiplatform SDK Command Line Tool
The Link-OS Multiplatform SDK command line tool can be used to perform various printer
operations from the command line.
It can be used to get printer status, create profiles and clone them to other printers, discover
network printers, and perform various other operations.
Steps to Use the Link-OS Multiplatform SDK Command Line Tool to Perform Printer Operations
- Open a command shell
- Navigate to "PC/[build version]/lib" within your Link-OS Multiplatform SDK installation directory (where [build version] corresponds to the desired build)
- Enter java -jar ZSDK_API.jar help
- Follow the instructions in the help
Information for using the TLS connection option
The command line tool supports connections to the printer using standard TCP port 9100 or
TLS port 9143.
Using the TLS connection option in any of the commands requires a certificate to be on the
printer.
Printers running Link-OS version 7.4.2 or later contain a self-signed certificate to provide
a TLS connection. Alternatively, users can obtain and deploy their own certificates to
provide a TLS connection.
Notes:
- The command utilities do not validate with a root certificate. The certificate on the printer is used to encrypt the data being sent and retrieved.
- TCP port 9100 maybe disabled by default in printers shipped in some regions. TLS port 9143 is enabled in all printers.
