Hmm, the bad news is it looks like that `IllegalStateException` isn’t something _you_ can work around (though it’s an easy fix on our side; I’m going to open a ticket).  
For parsing the data, I don’t see any readily available helper classes that are exposed. If you know the format you’re going to get from the zebra printer, it’s probably reasonable to do your own parsing.
