A method in a server includes: storing, at the server, a configuration update definition including (i) criteria, and (ii) configuration update payload data; obtaining at the server, from a computing device having a connection to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a parameter of the connection; determining whether the parameter satisfies the criteria of the configuration update definition; and in response to determining that the parameter satisfies the criteria, transmitting the configuration update payload data to the computing device.

Dynamic network configuration for printers

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.
