The Friendly Name is part of the printer local name (a combination of the printer model name and an alphanumeric string of characters). The alphanumeric string of characters is the “Friendly Name” of the device. This is the name provided by the printer during service discovery. The Friendly Name is a string of up to 20 characters long that is intended to be unique to each printer; it will default to the printer serial number if not changed by the user. The Friendly Name is used by the Zebra authentication algorithm.
