Zebra Nucleus Connector

Joining the launch of Nucleus is the introduction of Zebra Nucleus Connector, a free mobile app for Android and iOS that makes the process of setting up and configuring Zebra thermal printers easier and faster. Users of any technical skill level can now configure their printers with a simple, modern interface and intuitive guidance, with all printer setup, connectivity, configuration, and update steps combined into one easy-to-use app.

Printer configurations in four critical areas (connectivity, security, media, Nucleus enrolments) can be saved as printer profiles for easy setup. A single printer setting profile can bundle these four configurations for rapid deployment to printers via NFC tap-and-pair.
