Zebra Zq510 Bluetooth Pairing
Othon Sdcd
To start the pairing process, first turn on the printer device. Next, turn on Bluetooth on the Android tablet by navigating to settings, connections, then bluetooth. The ZQ520 printer will show up on the Android tablet as one of the available devices. Tap on the ZQ520 label to start the pairing process.
A Bluetooth pairing request will then appear on the screen with a passkey. At the same time, the ZQ520 will also display the same request with the same passkey. Select the tick button on the printer to complete the paring process.
This will open the folder where the settings file is located. The saved settings file will be named Media Settings1.txt by default. Any changes and saves of the settings will create incrementally named setting files (i.e. media settings 2,3,4..) Therefore, new changes will be in the file with the highest number in its name; in the case below Media Settings4.txt is the applicable file.
We have a mobile windows PDA scanner device for stock control that supports printing labels vie bluetooth to Zebra mobile printers, the developer of the software advised it should work with any Zebra mobile printer so we purchased a ZQ510 printer that connected and started printing Labels from the PDA scanner, the problem is that it will not print the description Text on the Label, it prints the barcode and the barcode number ok, but will not print text.
Long story short it looks as though the printer is missing a Scalable Font File, I have put the printer into debug mode and sent a print to capture the commands being sent to it and the test is trying to use a ST PLM.CSF font file. See below debug dump output:
The developer is saying this is a standard font file that should be pre loaded onto the printers as they designed it to work out of the box, but clearly this isn't the case, or for some reason I've received a printer missing some files?
Does anyone know how to go about loading this scalable font file onto the printer, or how to generate a .CSF font file. I've looked at all of the Zebra utilities, including the font downloader, and although this allows you to generate standard font files, it will not create scalable .CSF font files and I cannot find any documentation from zebra regarding this type of file?
