27QL Series User GuideVerify the Printer Is WorkingBefore you connect the printer to your computer or portable data terminal, make sure that the printer is in proper working order. You can do this by printing a configuration label using the “two key reset” method. If you can’t get this label to print, refer to “Troubleshooting”.Printing a Configuration Label1. Turn the printer off. Load the media compartment with journal media (media with no black bars printed on the back)2. Press and hold the Feed Button.3. Press and release the Power button and keep the Feed button pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed button. The unit will print a line of interlocking “x” characters to ensure all elements of the print head are working, print out the version of software loaded in the printer and then print two re-ports. The first report indicates model, ROM version, serial num-ber, baud rate, etc. The second report prints out more de-tailed information on the printer’s configuration and parameter settings. If no second report appears, there is no application loaded. (See the Troubleshooting Section for sample printouts and a further discussion on how to use the configuration label as a diagnostic tool.)Connecting the PrinterThe printer must establish communications with a host ter-minal which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in four basic ways:• By a cable between the printer and its host terminal. All QL series printers communicate by the RS-232C protocol. QL Plus series printers can communicate by either RS-232C or USB 2.0 protocols. USB drivers are included in the Zebra Universal Driver which can be downloaded from www.zebra.com.• Linking to a host terminal via Infrared (usually by means of the industry standard IrDA protocol)• By means of a Bluetooth™ short range radio frequency link.

The other end of the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in Figure 11, or to a serial or USB port on a computer (Figure 12.) The QL Plus series is configured with the USB Open HCI inter-face driver allowing it to communicate with Windows® based devices.USB drivers are included in the Zebra Universal Driver which can be downloaded from the Zebra Web site. Other terminals or communications devices may require the installation of special drivers to use the USB connection. Consult the factory for further details.Providing Strain Relief for Communications CableIf you are connecting a communications cable to the print-er permanently, use the strain relief features built into the belt clip retainer to prevent excessive strain on the communica-tions connector. There are two kinds of strain relief features. If you are using the printer with the standard belt clip, bend the cable in a broad loop to relieve stress on the connector and press it into the retaining feature on the belt clip retainer as shown in figure 13.

31QL Series User GuideIR CommunicationsPrinters equipped for infrared (IR) communications are iden-tified by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s label. (IR functions are disabled if a communications cable is used.) Printers with the IR option conform to the IrDA communications protocol.Ensure that there is a direct line of sight between the printer and the terminal that will be sending data. The IR window on the front of the printer must face the corresponding window on the terminal to properly send and receive signals.IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate com-munications to the printer. An IrDA terminal will seek out any linkable devices and establish communications between them, even turning the printer on if necessary. Figure 14: IR CommunicationsArea of IR Window1M (39”)
32QL Series User GuideWireless Communications with Bluetooth™“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth ra-dios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet). Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth standard. Other than conditions specified elsewhere in this manual, only one of the radio op-tions can be installed in the printer at one time and the anten-na used for these transmitters must not be co-located or must not operate in conjunction with any other antenna.Bluetooth Networking Overview Each Bluetooth enabled QL series printer is identified by a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its QuickLink module when manufactured. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devices must establish a connec-tion. Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready to respond to connection requests. One device (known as the master or the client) must request a connection with an-other. The second device (the slave or the server) then accepts or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled QL series printer will normally act as a slave creating a miniature net-work with the terminal sometimes referred to as a “piconet.”.For the most part, communications using the Bluetooth pro-tocol are initiated and processed without any operator inter-vention. QL 220 and 420 Plus printers can be equipped with both a Bluetooth and an 802.11b radio, allowing communications with both Bluetooth enabled devices and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (see WLAN discussion following).
33QL Series User GuidecontinuedWLAN OverviewAll QL series printers can be equipped with radios using the industry standard 802.11 protocols. QL series printers will have the FCC I.D. number of the radio on the product label. QL Plus series printers will have the FCC ID number on the se-rial number label on the back of the unit. • QL Wireless Network Printers with the CF module can be identified by the text “Wireless Network Printer” and FCC ID: I28MD-QL4137 on the front of the unit. QL Plus series printers will have FCC ID: I28MD-RW4137 on the serial number label on the back of the unit.• QL series Wireless Network Printers with the Zebra 802.11b WLAN radio module can be identified by the text “Wireless Network Printer” and FCC ID: I28MD-ZLAN11B on the serial number label on the back of the printer.• QL Plus series Wireless Network Printers with the Zebra 802.11g WLAN radio module can be identified by the text “Wireless Network Printer” and FCC ID: I28MD-ZLAN11G on the serial number label on the back of the printer.• QL 320 and QL 420 printers with the PCMCIA module can be identified by the text “Wireless Network Printer” and FCC ID: I28-QL420352 on the front of the unit.• QL 220 and 420 Plus printers can be configured with both an 802.11b WLAN radio and a Bluetooth radio running in the same unit. At present only one dual radio configu-ration is offered, with Bluetooth radio FCC ID “I28MD-BTCT2Y4” and 802.11b Compact flash radio FCC ID num-ber “I28MD-RW4137”. The FCC ID numbers and other regulatory information for both radios are located on the serial number label on the back of the printer.These printers allow wireless communication as a node within a local area network, (LAN) and its wireless capabilities allow communications from any point within the LAN’s perim-eter. Printers equipped with the dual Bluetooth and 802.11b WLAN radio configuration can be linked to both a WLAN and a Bluetooth network. Methods of establishing communications to the printer will vary with each LAN application.Methods of establishing communications to QL series print-
34QL Series User Guideers will vary with each LAN application. General informa-tion on establishing WLAN communications can be found in either the ”CPCL Programmers Manual” or the “Quick Start Guide for Mobile Wireless Printers” both available on-line. More information and LAN configuration utilities are included in Zebra’s Label Vista™ program (version 2.8 and later). Label Vista may be downloaded from the Zebra Web site.Setting Up the SoftwareQL series printers use Zebra’s CPCL Programming language which was designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL is fully described in the ”CPCL Programmers Manual”, available on-line from the Zebra Web site.You can also use Label Vista™, Zebra’s Windows® based la-bel creation program which uses a graphical interface to cre-ate and edit labels in the CPCL language. Refer to Appendix E for tips on downloading the Label Vista application from Zebra’s Web site.QL series printers with an optional memory upgrade can support an interpreter for ZPL II®, or EPL programming lan-guages.
