Remove protective shrink- wrap and labels from new battery packs prior to use. 1. If the printer is so equipped, rotate the Belt Clip to allow ac- cess to the Battery compartment. 2. Insert the battery into the printer as shown in Figure 2, 3. Rock the Battery into the printer as shown until it locks in JIace. When the battery is first installed, the Control Panel indicators may briefly turn on and then go off which indicates the battery is not fully charged (see “Charging the Battery" below and “Operator Contro s"). Charging the Battery Refer to Figure 3. Your battery charger may look slightly differ- ent from the ones illustrated. If you are using the LI 72 battery charger: 1. nstall the battery in the printer and plug the Charger into he appropriate AC wall receptacle. Then insert the charge cable into the battery chargerjack. 2. The charger LED will indicate the status of the charger as oIIows: - A steady light indicates the battery is undergoing a fast charge. ' A slow blinking light indicates the charger is in trickle mode. “he battery is ready for use. - A rapidly blinking light indicates a problem with the battery. The battery may have an internal short, or its charge moni- toring circuitry may be malfunctioning. The battery should not be used any further. . Battery Packs may be charged either when installed in the printer or when removed. A Do not attempt to charge batteries with the LI 72 while printing. Attempting to print while charging can result in improperly charged batteries. QL 320 Users Guide 9 Loading the Media You can operate this printer in one of two different modes: Tear- Off or Peel-Off. Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is printed. In Peel-Off mode. the backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After you remove this label, the next one is printed. Installing the Media 1. Refer to Figure 4. Open the printer: - Rotate the latch release levers on each side of the printer as shown at “1” below. The latch assembly will flip open automatically as shown at "".2 - Rotate the media Cover back as shown at “3”, ex- posing the media compartment and the adjust— able media supports. , eia \x \\l Compartment Media Supports FIGURE 4 10 CL 320 User's Guide 2. Refer to Figure 5. Load the media - Determine that the core diameter of the media roll matches the setting of the Media Disks. If it does not, adjust the me- dia disks per Figure 6 below. - If the media support setting is correct, pull the media sup- ports apart, insert the roll of media between them, and let the media supports close Insure that the media pulls off the core in the direction shown in Figure 5. The supports will adjust themselves to the width of the media, and the media should be able to spin freely on the supports. Media Roll Note direction media pulls off the roIL Media Disk must match diameter of Media Core. Remove Media Disk, rotate 180" and replace for 1.10” core Media Disk set for 3/ " core (factory default). FIGURE 6 continued on next page QL 320 User's Guide 11 3, Refer to Figure 7.

The standard control panel is detailed below and in Figure 8. The optional control panel (Figure 9) features an LCD which allows easy display and selection of many printer functions and is de- tailed on following pages. Standard Keypad The standard keypad has three control buttons and two multi- purpose indicators. - The Power button turns the QL 320 on and off. - The Feed button advances a length of media which is de- termined by the type of media being used. Label media will be advanced to the next gap or bar sense marker. Journal (plain) media will be advanced a length determined by the printer's software. - The Function button is controlled by a printer’s specific ap- plication to support such functions as: Print a battery Level reporting Print the Local Area Network (LAN) status Print a Short Range Radio Frequency (SRRF) status Print a Media supply report The green LED on the left side of the control panel indicates the status of several printer features: ' A slowly blinking sequence indicates the printer’s battery needs charging. - Printers with a wireless QuickLink module installed: a quick— Iy blinking sequence indicates the printer has not estab- lished a link to either a Local Area Network or a compatible wireless equipped terminal. - Printers with a wireless QuickLink module installed: A steadily lit indicator shows that the printer has established a wireless link, either to the LAN or to a compatible terminal. A steadily lit green indicator on a non-wireless printer is a power—on indicator. The yellow LED on the right side of the control panel has two indication conditions. - A rapidly blinking yellow LED and a chime indicate that no application has been loaded into the printer. - Printers with a wireless QuickLink module installed: a rapid— Iy blinking LED indicates normal data transmission. QL 320 User's Guide 13 - A steadily lit yellow LED indicates an error condition. This can be caused by one of the following: 1. The media cover is not completely closed and latched. 2. The printer is out of media. Green LED steady Light indicates power on amflol established RF link.

FIGURE 8: STANDARD CONTROL PANEL 14 QL 320 Usefs Guide LCD Control Panel The optional LCD control panel has buttons for the power on/off and media feed functionsjust as in the standard control panel. in addition, it has two keys which allow easy navigation and selec- tion of menu options affecting many printer functions. The “Scroll" button allows scrolling through the various options and settings. The “Select" button allows selection of the option or function displayed on the screen.

This icon is functional only with QL 320N network printers. 1:11 A flashing icon indicates low battery status. You should suspend any printing operations and recharge or re- place the battery Pack as soon as is convenient. B A flashing icon indicates that the media cover is open or not properly latched. B A flashing icon indicates that a file is being downloaded to the printer. A flashing icon indicates that the printer does not detect any media. This could indicate an out of media condition, or improperly loaded media. In addition to the status icons, the LCD control panel can display many of the printer’s settings and functions as text. Applications can be written to allow the user to view and [or modify these set- tings using the scroll and select keys on the display. Refer to the "LCD Functions Table" on the following page for the full set of printer features that can be made available with the LCD panel. The LCD has a backlighting option which allows viewing of the screen in a dark environment, or provides better contrast in a very bright environment. Use of the display backlight will decrease the time the printer will run between charges. 16 QL 320 Users Guide Function Sensur Type Baud Rate WLAN iD' ii Left Posinon Noactivity Timeout Tear-aft Position LCD Backlight LCD Functions Deiauli seuing Gap 19200 Factory Set Value Scroll & Select Opiions Bar Gap 9600 1 9200 32400 NIA Increase (+120 dots max) Decrease (-120 dots max) 60 sec. 5 min. 10 min. 30 min Custom“ 1, Increase ($120 dois max.)

QL 320 User's Guide 17 Verify the Printer Is Working Before 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 “Trouble- shooting". Printing a Configuration Label 1.Turn the printer off, Load the media compartment with jour- nal 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 but- ton pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed button. The unit will print a line of interlocking “x" characters to insure all elements of the print head are working, print out the version of software loaded in the printer and then print two reports. The first report indicates model, ROM version, serial number, baud rate, etc. The second report prints out more detailed infor— mation on the printer’s configuration and parameter settings. If no second report appears, there is no application loaded. (See the Troubleshooting Section for a sample print-out and a further dis— clssion on how to use the configuration label as a diagnostic tool.) Connecting the Printer The printer must establish communications with a host terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in four basic ways: - By a cable between the printer and its host terminal - Linking to a host terminal via infrared (usually by means of the industry standard IrDA protocol) - By means of a Short Range Radio Frequency (SRRF) link. - By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), This applies to QL 320N Network Printers only. 15 QL 320 User's Guide
