Hello Sandhil,
Seems HC100 model will be discontinued soon, it has no support for LinkOS, just ZebraLink core. Also, it has very reduced security and connectivity options. It may worth to move forward with the ZD510HC, which incorporate Link-OS, BT/BLE and WiFi connectivity, cartridge and security connections.

The ZD510HC has parameters that you need:
media.cartridge.total_label_cntmedia.cartridge.labels_remaining

Hello Sandhil,
I the user manual for your printer I can see "odometer.media_marker_count1" and "odometer.media_marker_count2" parameters: https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra/manuals/printers/desktop/hc100/…; You can use any of these two for your purposes.
You can reset this parameter after new cartridge inserted this way using SGD language:
! U1 setvar "odometer.media_marker_count1" "0"Then you can check amount of wristbands were printed this way:
! U1 getvar "odometer.media_marker_count1"Having an idea on total amount of wristbands in a cartridge and amount of printed wristbands you can calculate amount of wristbands that still available.
