    The Easiest Way to Install Windows Drivers for BIXOLON Network Printers

    July 15, 2020

    As network printers can be shared remotely by multiple users, requires less maintenance and training, they have been preferred by IT managers and most businesses have opted for them to produce receipts and labels. The only small drawback is that they are not as simple as plug-and-play devices to set up in the first stage. Connecting a network printer with manual settings could be a hassle which involves series of processes to input the IP address and create a port to install the drivers. Aligning with its ongoing efforts to develop a comprehensive hardware and software solutions that raise the bar of process efficiency and productivity, BIXOLON has newly come up with the Network Auto Installer. The program remarkably simplifies the bothersome setup procedure with a one-click-installation by automatically detecting and retrieving the IP information of active printers currently connected to the same network as the host device. The software is specifically designed for BIXOLON POS, label and mobile printers in Windows based environment; Drivers by Seagull™ are only supported for label (mobile label) printers. BIXOLON believes that the Network Auto Installer will add some primary benefits to today’s efficiency-oriented workplaces. All that users are now asked is to tick the box for the auto installation option, select the printer from the list. The tool will do the rest without the need to click through multiple stages of Driver Wizard nor go back to the previous page to modify incorrect IP address. Just one click and the drivers will be installed.

    What are the benefits of SoftAP Printers?

    April 8, 2019

    Many businesses requiring wireless printing solutions in markets such as Retail, Hospitality, Payment, Logistics and Warehousing are expanding and strengthening their wireless solutions using new mobile infrastructure technology. Wi-Fi connectivity was always a key factor in this trend but has historically been complex when linking up non-LCD embedded industrial printers to Wi-Fi networks. For instance, Ad-Hoc and Wi-Fi direct one-to-one network systems are popular methods for setting up Wi-Fi printers. However, the user experience to configure these networks has always been a challenge, requiring an understanding of various technical concepts such as node, encryptions, security, etc. BIXOLON is aware of these issues and has provided a solution which removes the complexity of Wi-Fi networking its printers. Since 2017 BIXOLON has adopted a new mode called SoftAP onto a selection of its printers to enable easy Wi-Fi setup. Its printers enabled with SoftAP act as an access point (virtual router). Users can then directly connect their mobile devices or computers with a BIXOLON printer (without using a Wi-Fi router) using the SoftAP function. Easy Wi-Fi setup with SoftAP printers The SoftAP mode establishes a wireless network using BIXOLON printers. In other words, when this mode is enabled, the printer becomes an access point(AP) requiring users to only know two pieces of information, the SoftAP’s network name (SSID) and password. The connection is then established via below steps. Turn on the BIXOLON SoftAP printerSearch the SoftAP’s network name (SSID) and enter the password using the hostThe SSID and password will then be sent to the printer through the SoftAP connection by the host device These steps are very similar to a normal AP connection procedure enabling easy setup without hesitation. The SoftAP mode is the simplest way to setup Wi-Fi with existing one-to-one network connection methods programmed for the BIXOLON printer. This SoftAP mode is available for following products: Mobile Printers: SPP-R200IIIplus, SPP-R310plus, SPP-R410, SRP-L310 and SPP-L3000 Label Printers: XT5-40 POS Printers: SRP-Q300, SRP-S300, SRP-F310II, SRP-380 and SRP-350plusIII For more information visit http://www.bixolon.com/ or alternatively speak to your local BIXOLON sales representative.

    App Development Selection: Native, Web or Hybrid?

    September 20, 2018

    From Retail to Logistics, Payments to Hospitality, there has been a gradual shift in printing methods. Speed and convenience has seen traditional desktop printers replaced with mobile equivalents. The introduction of tablets and smart devices has led to a whole new industry of APP writers/generators who are reacting to the requirement for mobile applications which need to be tailored to a business’ individual requirements. Thus factoring in the likes of total cost of ownership, device functionality, compatibility and security. With various types of application architectures available, most APPs are generally classified into three main categories: Native, HTML5 and Hybrid. Each of these types of APPs come with their own list of pros and cons which a user needs to consider alongside their current OS environment and how this will affect their business efficiency, strategy, future plans and budgets. Native Applications This type of APP depends on specific development environments such as iOS® or Android® and are built specifically for that operating system. Pros These APPs are easily obtainable via a simple download from the App Store® or Google Play® and are normally instantly ready to use (unless an operating license is required) Native APPs tend to be more stable and secure than other APP types Offline usage is also possible Easy integration with host device features, such as Bluetooth, Camera, WLAN etc. Cons Native APPs are restricted to a particular operating system Development costs are high as each application needs to be tailored to individual operating systems Native app management may be challenging, if any APP changes are required, each change will need to be replicated onto each individual users OS application Native APPs have greatly improved in stability and security attracting the attention of large enterprises in a variety of industries. As a result, native APPs are dominating in business which require high stability and security such as casino billing systems, railway ticketing and lottery systems. BIXOLON provide various native app SDK’s for a variety of operating systems such as Android®, iOS®, Windows®, Linux®, Chrome® and Symbian®. Web Applications Web Applications use multiple programming languages such as CSS, JavaScript and HTML5. This type of APP normally in the format of a webpage. The source of the APP does not belong to the operating system, so can be fluid across all operating systems. Pros Working on all platforms can reduce both development time and costs. Easy maintenance compared to native APPs as there is no registration process via the download host sites Cons Web apps are typically large file sized and data rich HTML5 is not accessible when offline Unable to fully utilize host device functionality These types of applications have become popular is small to mid-sized businesses such as local restaurants and boutique stores for their cost efficiency. And have also gained the attention of larger businesses such as supermarket chains or mobile phone carriers as this type of app can also function as a central management system. BIXOLON provides a Cordova SDK plugin to support this application trend. Hybrid Mobile Applications Hybrid applications utilize a combination of Native and Web development methodologies. A native container is used to develop hybrid apps using CSS, JavaScript and HTML5 programming languages. Hybrid apps are accessible on different operating systems (however the compatibility is lower than HTML5 apps). Pros Hybrid apps are consistent across operating systems By sharing source codes across multiple operating systems environments developers can reduce both time and cost Cons The APP file sizes are large and slow, leading to reduced performance The user experience quality of a hybrid application usually doesn’t match that of a native APP Hybrid applications provide a great number of benefits especially around cost reduction which is extremely attractive to start-up companies or enterprises which have a plan to run and maintain their own application across multiple operating systems. BIXOLON offers an Xamarin SDK which allows apps available in Android and iOS the same performance. With many APP options available, it is up to the customer to access their working environments and strategies when considering which application type to take. BIXOLON printer solutions can support various types of SDKs to fulfil many user’s business environments. To access BIXOLON’s full SDK range, visit the BIXOLON Technical Download page.

    BIXOLON Releases Auto-Format 4”X6” Label Driver and Linux SDK

    May 2, 2017

    BIXOLON Co., Ltd. a leading global mobile, label and POS printer manufacturer, today announced two new software solutions developed to enhance printing application development and bring greater functionality and flexibility to its broad receipt and label printer lineup. “We are committed to software and tools that add value to BIXOLON products in the field,” cited John Kim, BIXOLON director of marketing. “Our products have a long life, so whenever we can deliver new functionality that increases the ROI for our existing users, we’re going to invest in development.” The Z46 Windows Driver, now available for all BIXOLON 4-inch direct thermal label printers, automatically resizes and formats an A-4 sized 8.5”x11” print file to an A6-sized 4”x6” file. The new driver eliminates the need to reformat print files when creating 4”x6” shipping labels, shelf labels, product labels, packing lists, delivery invoices, reports, coupons, tickets and other documents on 4”x6” media. The new driver also enables printing on a wide range of media including thermal receipt paper rolls, tickets and labels. BIXOLON users in warehousing, logistics, direct store delivery (DSD), retail inventory management, hotel management and law enforcement applications will see immediate benefits in the new automated label functionality. Many 4”x6” labels today are still printed on laser or inkjet printers, which are considerably more expensive to purchase and operate than thermal printers due to their higher cost of consumables. By printing larger 4”x6” labels on existing BIXOLON thermal label printers, users increase the ROI of their BIXOLON devices, lower cost per label, and potentially eliminate the need for additional inkjet or laser printers in busy warehouse environments. The Z46 driver can be installed in seconds, and is compatible with all BIXOLON 4-inch desktop label printers (contact your BIXOLON sales representative for more information). The Linux Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available for the complete line of BIXOLON mobile POS receipt and label printers. The SDK provides a library of API’s and sample code to speed development of printing applications, enabling BIXOLON printers to print from any desktop PC or mobile computer running a Linux-based application. The SDK enables developers to quickly and easily integrate printer functions including text/barcode/image printing, page mode printing, printer status check capability, direct I/O, MSR and SCR functions, auto calibration of label printers and more. “With its inherent lower cost, stability and security, organizations are beginning to look at Linux as an ideal alternative for their enterprise systems,” cited John Kim. “BIXOLON will continue to be proactive in delivering the software tools that enable software developers to deliver cost efficient, scalable and robust printing applications.” The SDK supports Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later and is available for download here.
