A computing device includes: a housing configured to receive a supply of print media; a print head supported by the housing; a wireless communications subsystem supported by the housing; a controller supported by the housing, the controller configured to: control the communications subsystem to detect a data collection device; obtain, from the data collection device via the communications subsystem, monitoring data collected by the data collection device indicative of an environmental condition; transmit the monitoring data; receive a command based on the monitoring data; and control the print head to apply indicia to the print media according to the command.

Printer with integrated wireless bridge

A system for choosing a printer based on proximity comprising: a beacon to broadcast a transmission having a beacon ID; a printer to: receive the transmission, determine a received signal strength indicator for the transmission, generate a printer location signal including the beacon ID, the received signal strength indicator, and a printer ID associated with the printer, and transmit the printer location signal to a host server; the host server including a processor and a memory, the server configured to: receive the printer location signal from the printer, determine a printer location based on a predetermined location of the beacon, the beacon ID, and the received signal strength indicator, and associate the printer location with a printer zone; a printer proximity application to: receive a print request, the print request including a print data and a target zone, and transmit the print data to the printer in the target zone.

Selecting a printer based on proximity

Provided herein are devices, systems, methods and various means, including those related to translating command and other types of computer instructions being transmitted to a destination processor from a language that is non-native to the destination processor to a language that is native to the destination processor. Some embodiments discussed herein can include a processing filter that is configured to identify whether incoming instructions are formatted in a translatable non-native language of the destination processor and, if so, process the non-native commands into native commands. The processed, native commands can then be relayed to the destination processor by some embodiments discussed herein. The processing filter can be implemented in a manner that is portable and independent of any specific framework and/or programming language. For example, the processing functionality (including the identification and translation features discussed herein) can be implemented in the same device as the destination processor and/or at a system remote from the destination device (e.g., at a remote host system).
