Cloud Connect (Weblink)

Connect Securely and Directly to Applications

The Cloud Connect (Weblink) feature in Zebra Link-OS printers enables direct, secure communication between the printer and on-premise or cloud-based applications using WebSocket and HTTPS protocols. Integrated into the printer’s firmware, this feature facilitates encrypted, bi-directional communication without the need for intermediate systems or software, making it a versatile tool for networked environments. Its firewall-friendly protocols ensure seamless integration into existing networks without special configuration.

Using Cloud Connect, customers can benefit by eliminating costs and maintenance of additional middleware and ensuring data integrity and security, making it an essential feature for businesses prioritizing secure data handling.

Various Zebra products, including Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, SendFileToPrint API, Airwatch Connector, and VisibilityIQ, leverage Cloud Connect for secure communication, enhancing their functionality and reliability.

Developers looking to utilize Cloud Connect have multiple pathways to create their own solutions. They can use any development environment supporting the WebSocket protocol or leverage Zebra’s webservices SDK for Java, which provides a simple API and a sample application with source code for printing and management tasks. Additionally, Zebra’s SendFileToPrint API, part of Zebra Data Services, offers another robust option for development.

Cloud Connect is available on all Link-OS printers, excluding Link-OS Basic models, ensuring wide applicability across Zebra’s product range.

Securely Integrate into Cloud-Based Applications

Cloud Connect allows Print DNA printers to securely integrate into Cloud-based applications.

Using an encrypted and authenticated web sockets connection, printers can link directly to cloud-based apps – for printing, printer management or as part of a powerful data collection platform. The printer can pair with a low-cost Bluetooth™ scanner and forward data directly to your cloud-based applications for processing. Printers then become an integral part of an overall cloud strategy and an important component of your Internet of Things solution.
