Profile Manager is an exciting new feature of Link-OS 2.0. It makes Zebra Link-OS printers even easier to integrate, manage and maintain, and this first release gives users the visibility and convenience of one application to manage all their Link-OS printers.
With the ability to manage from a secure browser connection on a PC, tablet or smartphone, Profile Manager lets you control one printer, batches of printers or all printers in the network – with quick and easy access to printer settings, provisioning and status monitoring from any location with connectivity to the Profile Manager server.
Management of large printer populations is made simple by “tagging” printers within Profile Manager, administrators can then organize and select groups of printers for management or monitoring, allowing better visibility and control.

By creating printer profiles – virtual “golden printers” – with desired configuration, settings and objects, the deployment of new printers becomes quick and simple, providing extensive savings in setup time. Printer profiles are also an excellent way to back up a printer’s configuration for crisis recovery.
