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.

until it looks into place, as shown at “"4
- Turn on the printer or press the Feed button if the printer is
already on.
The printer will advance the media to the next label, if print-
ing labels. If you are printing on journal media, the printer
will advance a short strip of media and will then be ready
for printing.

Operator Controls
The QL 320 will come with one of two possible control panels.
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.

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

QL 320 User's Guide 15
The top of the screen has a row of status icons which indicate
the state of various printer functions:
Y Indicates that the printer is associated with a wireless Lo-
cal Area Network (LAN). 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.

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
Cable Communications
A CAUTION. The power should be turned off
before connecting or disconnecting the
communications cable.
AII QL 320 printers can communicate by cable; the specific ca-
ble supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal. The
8- pin circular connector on your communications cable plugs into
the serial communications port on the side of the QL 320 printer.
It is keyed to assure correct alignment; do not try to force it if it
does not plug in The other end of the cable must be plugged into
the host terminal as shown in Figure 10, or to a serial port on a
computer (Figure 11.) Communications between the terminal and
the printer are controlled by the applications running on the termi-
nal and the printer.

IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identified
by a small “IR" logo on the unit's label. IR allows wireless commu»
nications between the printer and the host terminal, IR units can
also communicate with a cable as detailed above, however, IR
functions are disabled when the cable is plugged in. QL 320 units
with the IR option can be configured to conform to the standard
IrDA communications protocol
Linking a Printer to an IrDA Host
IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate communica-
tions to the printer, First insure 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 QL 320 must face the corresponding
window on the terminal to properly send and receive signals, An
IrDA compliant terminal will seek out any Iinkable devices and es-
tablish communications between them, even turning the printer on
if necessary.
