Installing Java

Thermal Printing (ZPLII, EPL2, DPL) with ShipSync requires Java Runtime 5 or higher to load.

1. Check for Java by typing the following at a command console:

  java -version

2. This should return the following:

  java version "1.x.x_xx"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.x.x_xx-xxx)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build xx.x-xxx, mixed mode, sharing)

3. If "java version '1.5.0_0'" or higher does not appear to be installed, download and install the Java Runtime Environment for your platform. This varies with your platform:
• Windows users, download from the Java link above.
• Ubuntu users, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
• Linux users, download from repository (apt-get, yum, etc. Look for "sun-jre" or "OpenJDK" and appropriate browser plugins). Browser plugin may be called "icedtea" and is often a separate install. KDE users may also need to install "xul-runner".
• Mac users previously obtained java through automatic updates. Newer versions of Java (1.7 and later) need to be downloaded and installed separately here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
