Zebra Printer Mirror Process
Zebra “alpha series” mobile printers (e. g. QL 220,
RW 420) support a file mirroring process that allows the
printer to synchronize files with those stored on an FTP
server. Since the process relies solely on the FTP stan-
dard, no other special utilities are required. The files on
the FTP server can be printer firmware files, fonts, as well
as lists of printer configuration commands (such as com-
mands to change the printer’s WEP key). In order for this
file synchronization process to work properly, it is only re-
quired that the FTP server support “Unix style” directory
listings and that the modification time stamps of the files
stored on the FTP server are accurate.
Printer set up to support mirror process
In order to enable the mirror process on the printer, the
following set/get variables are available:
ip.mirror.auto: on/off
If “on”, printer will automatically perform a mirror
“fetch” command on power-up, and subsequently
every “freq” minutes. (see ip.mirror.freq, below)
ip.mirror.username: 20 bytes (string)
Username to use for FTP login
ip.mirror.password: 20 bytes (string)
Password for FTP account
ip.mirror.server: 40 bytes (string)
Server ip address or name (if DNS server info is
provided via DHCP).
ip.mirror.path: 50 bytes (string)
Path on the FTP server where the mirror directory
is located. Defaults to “companyname/model” (e.g.
“/Zebra/QL 320”).
NOTE: this must be an absolute path (i.e. it must start with / or ~)
ip.mirror.freq: 0-65535 minutes
Number of minutes to wait before performing an-
other mirror fetch. If this value is “0”, the mirror pro-
cess will only be performed once immediately on
