Multiple iPad's 1 Zebra Printer issue.

We are running the check in app with Zebra ZD421d printers. We have no problem connecting 1 iPad to 1 printer but as soon as we try to connect a 2nd it boots the other iPad off the printer.  Is it possible to connect 2 iPads to the same zebra printer via bluetooth?

    Hi Brandon - great question. Yes, two-iPads to one Zebra is a common configuration, but generally this is done when the printers are Wifi/Ethernet connected. I have not seen a working Bluetooth configuration like this. According Zebra (https://support.zebra.com/article/000026839): "Zebra Bluetooth printers can store up to 16 device pairings in their memory, but only one client device can actively connect and print at a time."

    Are you able to pivot to an ethernet connection? Or are they equipped for Wifi?
