Zebra Printer Setup Utility vs Hecate Admin

With Zebra’s Printer Setup Utility, configuring your Zebra Print DNA printers to optimize performance is easy – no specialized knowledge required. The app can find and connect to Zebra Print DNA printers communicating via a network or Bluetooth. Follow the simple wizards to set specific parameters including connectivity, calibration, media type, printer language and print quality – to optimize performance. With the Security Assessment Wizard feature, assess your Zebra printer security posture, compare your settings against security best practices and make changes based on your conditions to increase protection. Bluetooth Printers are now manageable, even in the field! Traditionally, Bluetooth printers are not easily managed – particularly when the printers are used in the field by a mobile workforce. Zebra’s Printer Setup utility makes Bluetooth printers manageable via the Cloud by allowing you to retrieve files from your Cloud storage provider and then transfer these files to your printers for faster configuration and easier software updates. This simplifies the management of your Bluetooth printers, dramatically improving your return on investment and increasing the productivity of your mobile workforce. Help is just a tap away - use the "Zebra Assist" feature to send your printers configuration directly to Zebra's support team.

Hecate Admin is the authoring authority for Hecate, the profile-driven capture system. Where the capture app is strictly read-only — it follows whatever a profile describes — Admin is where those profiles are created, validated, versioned, published and retired. A profile is the configurable workflow of scans, fields and validation rules that tells the capture app what an object is and how to record it. Admin is where that workflow is written and governed, then published to the MQTT broker you configure as a retained message, so every device converges on the current set. AUTHOR WITH CONFIDENCE Build a profile field by field — scans, typed fields, validation — with a guided, block-by-block wizard. Validate before you publish so devices never receive a broken workflow. VERSION AND RETIRE Every publish is versioned. Supersede a profile with a new version, or retire one cleanly — the broker's retained state stays the single source of truth. PROVISION BY QR Hand a device its broker connection and profiles by scanning a provisioning QR code — no manual typing, no secrets in the clear. The broker password goes straight into the device Keychain. THE ONLY THING YOU NEED IS AN MQTT BROKER No developer backend, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Everything flows through the broker you own and operate. Made for iPhone and iPad — one universal app. Localized in English, German, French and Spanish. Part of the Hecate family, alongside Hecate (capture) and Hecate Viewer. SUBSCRIPTION (OPTIONAL) Hecate Admin Pro lifts the free-tier quantity limits — unlimited saved profiles, unlimited active published profiles, several broker configurations. It is an auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly and billed to your Apple account. It renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends; you manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings. The free tier never expires. Should this project end, we will say so, stop selling new subscriptions and let running ones expire — your data stays on your own broker.
