The app ZPL Printer Management Base defines tables and pages, to declare zpl printers and zpl layouts. The user can define the zpl printer to use for a distinct layout & username combination (similar to the Printer Selection in Business Central).
Furthermore, this app defines functions to establish a connection with a specified printer, retrieve a specified zpl layout from the database, etc.
The Zebra Cloud Connect Printer Mapping page is invoked when the printers are retrieved from Zebra Cloud.

In this view you can then select whether printers should be added, updated or deleted.
