Zebra: Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) Update for Printers

Introduction

Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) Update for Zebra Printers is a remote update feature that allows administrators to wirelessly deliver and install the latest firmware to Zebra printers over a network. Instead of manually connecting to each device, FOTA enables seamless, centralized firmware upgrades using protocols like MQTT or cloud services, ensuring devices stay up-to-date with the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements without physical intervention.

Note:

This feature is available in the Enterprise license plan 2023 and Enterprise license 2025.
