Zebra mobile printers

Background

Rundoo’s mobile app supports Zebra mobile printers for seamless portable label printing. These are wireless Bluetooth label printers, the phone pairs to the printer over Bluetooth via an NFC tap, then prints labels straight from the Rundoo POS mobile app. If you're looking for a WiFi or wireless label printer that works with Rundoo, the Zebra mobile printers below are what we recommend; for desktop/USB label printers (Dymo, network Zebra) see Product labels.

Troubleshooting

  1. If the phone is not able to connect via NFC try using a USB cable to connect to the printer

  2. If there are Bluetooth connectivity issues, the printer may not be set up to connect bluetooth To turn on Bluetooth, you have to press the "Feed" button - the small icon that looks like a roll

  3. If it is still not connecting, make sure WIFI is off on the printer.
