About

PrintAnalyzer

Features
Read full description

Tool for developers and support teams of software for label printers from Zebra, Sato or Toshiba and HP compatible laser printers. In order to be able to analyze the print data of a label or laser printer, the software simulates a printer via the WLAN interface and receives the data. Alternatively, print files can also be loaded for analysis. This offers a detailed evaluation of the received data directly on your iPhone or iPad. The data is displayed in different views for analysis: - Select the correct code page to display the data in text mode - Show data in hex mode to search for a specific byte combination - Display in syntax mode to analyze the sent commands including search function - Check alternative commands in the syntax library We have created a library of commands for each printer manufacturers displayed below by collecting free data available on the Internet. Even the libraries are not based on the latest specifications, they are one of the most important functions in the PrintAnalyzer for evaluating print data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Text Editor at Free against PrintAnalyzer's $3.99. Text Editor also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 38 months) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). PrintAnalyzer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
