Battery Safety
Caution • Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing
battery terminals to contact conductive material will create a short
circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start a
fire.
Important • Always dispose of used batteries properly. Refer to
Appendix D for more battery recycling information.
Caution • Use of any charger not approved specifically by Zebra for
use with its batteries could cause damage to the battery pack or the
printer and will void the warranty.
Charger Safety
Do not place the Quad Charger in locations where liquids or metallic
objects may be dropped into the charging bays.
Use care when installing either the LI72 Single Charger or the
UCLI72-4 Quad Charger so that you do not block the ventilating slots
on the top and bottom covers.
Ensure that the Charger is plugged into a power source which will not
accidently be turned off if you will be charging batteries overnight.

Loading the Media
You can operate QL series printers 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

Operator Controls
QL series printers are available with one of two possible
control panels. The standard control panel is detailed below
and in Figure 9. The optional control panel (Figure 10) features an LCD which allows easy display and selection of many
printer functions detailed on following pages.
Standard Keypad
The standard keypad has three control buttons and two multipurpose indicators.
• The Power Button turns the printer on and off.
• The Feed Button advances a length of media which is
determined 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 (FTN) Button is controlled by a printer’s
specific application to support such functions as:
Print a battery level report.
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
quickly blinking sequence indicates the printer has not established 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.

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 “Troubleshooting”.
Printing a Configuration Label
1. 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 reports.
The first report indicates model, ROM version, serial number, baud rate, etc. The second report prints out more detailed 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 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. 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.
27
QL Series User Guide
• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) per
802.11b specifications.
Cable Communication
Caution • The printer should be turned off before connecting or
disconnecting the communications cable.
All QL series printers can communicate by cable; the specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal and your model printer.
RS-232C Communications
The 8- pin circular connector on your communications cable
plugs into the serial communications port on the side of the
printer. QL Plus model printers also have a USB port.
USB Communications (QL Plus units only)
The small connector on the USB cable plugs into the printer.
The connectors are keyed to assure correct alignment; do not

QL Series User Guide
try to force the cable if it does not plug in. 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 interface 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 Cable
If you are connecting a communications cable to the printer permanently, use the strain relief features built into the belt
clip retainer to prevent excessive strain on the communications 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.

29
QL Series User Guide
If you have a printer equipped with the Kickstand option,
you must first remove the belt clip retainer as shown in Figure
14, retaining the two screws holding the retainer to the lower
cover. Arrange the communications cable in a broad loop as
detailed above, and capture it in the strain relief feature on the
bottom of the belt clip retainer. Then re-secure the belt clip
retainer to the bottom cover of the printer.
Refer to the Using the Accessories section for more information on the
use of the Kickstand option

IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identified 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 communications to the printer. An IrDA terminal will seek out
any linkable devices and establish communications between
them, even turning the printer on if necessary.

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of
data between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth radios 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 options can be installed in the printer at one time and the antenna 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 connection.
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 another. 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 network with the terminal sometimes referred to as a “piconet.”.
For the most part, communications using the Bluetooth protocol are initiated and processed without any operator intervention.
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).
32

QL 420 WLAN Module Using PCMCIA Radio
The following section only applies when the PCMCIA WLAN module (FCC ID: I28-QL420352) is installed in
the QL 420 printer. (Note that only one of the radio options can be installed in the printer at one time). The
antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or must not operate in conjunction with any other
antenna.
The FCC ID number label is on the label on the front of the QL 420. On all models the text can be read with
the radio module installed.
Caution • Use of the QL 420 with the radio module marked with
“FCC ID: I28-QL420352” meets the FCC requirements for radio
frequency (RF) radiation exposure in the standard body worn
configuration with no minimum separation. In this configuration,
which applies whether the belt clip or shoulder strap is used, the face
of the printer from which paper is transported is facing away from the
user’s body. The standard configuration must always be used when
the printer is body worn. This configuration maintains the required 1
cm separation distance.
The printer with this radio option has been SAR tested. The
maximum SAR value measured was 1.04. W/kg averaged over
1 gram.
