Introduction

Thank you for choosing our Zebra QL 320 Mobile Printer. This

rugged printer is sure to become a productive and efficient addi-

tion to your workplace thanks to its innovative design. Because

it’s made by Zebra Technologies Corporation, you’re assured of

world-class support for all of your bar code printers, software,

and supplies.

• This user’s guide gives you all the information you’ll need

to operate the QL 320 printer.

• The QL 320 uses the CPL programming language. To cre-

ate and print labels using the CPL language, refer to the

Mobile Printer Programming Guide (availale on our web-

site at:

http://www.zebra.com/SS/manuals.htm)

and our

Label Vista™ label creation program.

• The QL 320 has an optional interpreter for the ZPL II® Pro-

gramming Language which interprets commands up to X.8

firmware. The printer must be equipped with the optional

memory upgrade and appropriate application in order to

use this function. A ZPL II Program Guide (part #46530L)

can be used as reference for the ZPL II label design pro-

gramming language. If either manual was not ordered

with the printer, simply call your re-seller or Zebra Technol-

ogies Corporation or visit the Zebra web site.

the appropriate A.C. wall receptacle. Then insert the

charge cable into the battery charger jack.

2. The charger LED will indicate the status of the charger as

follows:

• A steady light indicates the battery is undergoing a fast

charge.

•A slow blinking light indicates the charger is in trickle

mode. The 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 mon-

itoring 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.

Do not attempt to charge batteries with the LI 72

while printing. Attempting to print while charging can

result in improperly charged batteries.

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. Open the printer: Refer to Figure 4.

•Rotate the latch release levers on each side of the printer

as shown at “1” below.

The latch assembly

will flip open auto-

matically as shown

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 al-

lows easy display and selection of many printer functions and is

detailed 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 deter-

mined 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

quickly blinking sequence indicates the printer has not es-

tablished a link to either a Local Area Network or a com-

patible 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 termi-

nal.

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 rap-

14 QL 320 User’s Guide

idly blinking LED indicates normal data transmission.

•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.

replace the Battery Pack as soon as is convenient.

A flashing icon indicates that the media cover is open or

not properly latched.

A flashing icon indicates that a file is being download-

ed 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 dis-

play many of the printer’s settings and functions as text. Applica-

tions can be written to allow the user to view and /or modify

these settings using the scroll and select keys on the display.

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 or-

der. 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 in-

sure all elements of the print head are working, print out the ver-

sion 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 in-

formation 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

discission 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.

QL 320 User’s Guide 19

Cable Communications

CAUTION. The power should be turned off before

connecting or disconnecting the communications cable.

All 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 seri-

al port on a computer (Figure 11.) Communications between the

terminal and the printer are controlled by the applications running

on the terminal and the printer.

IR Communications

Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identi-

fied by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s label. IR allows wireless

communications between the printer and the host terminal. IR

units can also communicate with a cable as detailed above, how-

ever, 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 corre-

sponding window on the terminal to properly send and receive

signals. An IrDA compliant terminal will seek out any linkable de-

vices and establish communications between them, even turning

the printer on if necessary.

FIGURE 12

QL 320 User’s Guide 21

SRRF Communications

Both the printer and the device it communicates with must fol-

low either the Bluetooth standard or Zebra’s proprietary SRRF

protocol. The communications protocol is determined by the

specific QuickLink module installed in the printer.

Printers equipped for short range radio frequency communica-

tions (SRRF) allow wireless communication with their host termi-

nals from any direction. Reliable transmission distances will vary

but usually exceed 1m. (39”) under worst conditions. SRRF

printers can be identified by reading the printer’s model number

label on the front of the unit, which will show the radio module’s

identification number and/or its operating frequency. QL 320

printers equipped with a Bluetooth wireless module will have the

Bluetooth logo on the model number label.

Zebra SRRF Network Overview

Zebra’s short range RF network operates as a collection of

linked pairs of terminals and printers. There is no base station or

centralized control; control of the network is distributed across

the entire network.

Before SRRF operation can begin, the QL 320 must be “linked”

to a terminal with a compatible short-range radio. Linking means

that addresses are exchanged between the terminal and the

printer. Once linked, the terminal and the printer become a

“linked pair” and communicate exclusively with each other. The

terminal and the printer can be turned on and off without affecting

the link; it remains valid until another link is deliberately created.

Thus it is not necessary to perform a link every time that the

equipment is used. So long as the linked pair is kept together,

they remain linked indefinitely. If the linked pair is not stored to-

gether, then the terminal and printer selected should be linked

prior to use.

Multiple linked pairs can be operated in close quarters and

each terminal will only communicate with its linked printer. Each

SRRF radio module has a unique device address (terminal or

printer), based on the device serial number.

Linking From the Terminal to the Printer

The linking operation can be activated from either the terminal

or the printer. If the terminal has a scanner available, then the

bar-coded serial number on the back of every printer can be

scanned and used to establish the printer’s unique address.

Once the printer’s address is established, the terminal can then

initiate a link to that printer. If no scanner is available the user

22 QL 320 User’s Guide

can manually enter the serial number of the printer; however, this

method is not recommended. The terminal can only capture the

desired printer using this type of link.

The terminal must be programmed to guide the user through

scanning the printer serial number bar-code, then execute an al-

gorithm which converts the serial number into an address. Zebra

can provide C source code to licensed OEM customers that han-

dles the conversion from serial number to address.

Linking From the Printer to the Terminal

When no scanner is available, and/or no additional software is

to be written for the terminal, then the linking operation can be

initiated solely by the printer.

In this procedure the printer broadcasts a message seeking an

available terminal. If a terminal “hears” the broadcast and is

available, it will respond by linking to the printer.

To insure a secure link, the user must perform the link opera-

tion far enough away from other operating terminals so that the

printer does not inadvertently capture some other user’s terminal.

Any other terminal that hears the broadcast message from the

printer may try to link to it, therefore you should insure that only

one terminal is within broadcast range. Feedback is available

from the printer as to the outcome of the link operation.

Bluetooth™ Networking Overview

The following section only applies when the Bluetooth Module (FCC ID: I28MD-BTC2-E)

is installed in the QL320 printer (note that only one of the radio options can be in-

stalled in the printer at one time).

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is

far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.

Nevertheless, this Bluetooth radio must be used in such a

manner that the antenna is 2.5 cm or further from the

human body.

The radio and antenna are mounted internally in this

printer in such a way that, when the printer is used in a

standard configuration (belt clip, soft case, shoulder

strap), the 2.5 cm distance from the users body will be

met. Do not use the printer in an unauthorized manner.

The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines

found in radio frequency safety standards and

recommendations. The level of energy emitted is far less

QL 320 User’s Guide 23

than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless

devices such as mobile phones.

“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 de-

vices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range

of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).

In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devices

must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is always run-

ning 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 en-

abled QL 320 will normally act as a slave, but in theory any Blue-

tooth device can be either a master or a slave. This miniature

network is sometimes referred to as a “piconet” and can consist

of several Bluetooth enabled devices.

Each Bluetooth QL 320 has a unique Bluetooth Device Address

(BDA) loaded into its Quick Link module when manufactured.

A Typical Bluetooth Connection Sequence

In this simplified sequence “Joe’s Terminal” is a Bluetooth

ready hand held terminal running an application that needs ac-

cess to a printer.

1. Joe’s Terminal performs a search of its “piconet” (a Device

Inquiry) and determines that there are four Bluetooth devices in

the vicinity.

2. Joe’s Terminal queries each of the four nearby devices to

determine which services they provide (a Service Discovery).

The Bluetooth enabled QL 320 “Sandy’s Printer” offers the print-

ing service.

3. Joe’s Terminal sends a print connection request to Sandy’s

Printer.

4. Sandy’s Printer evaluates the request and determines that

Joe’s Terminal is permitted to use the print service,

but only if the

correct password is submitted

5. Sandy’s Printer queries Joe’s Terminal for the password (Au-

thentication).

6. Joe’s Terminal returns the correct password and the print

connection is established.

7. After Joe’s Terminal is finished printing it disconnects with

24 QL 320 User’s Guide

Sandy’s Printer. (Some Bluetooth services disconnect automati-

cally, others must be closed manually.)

There are several layers of security in the Bluetooth system, so

this sequence may not be a completely accurate representation

of how your printer may function in a Bluetooth environment. For

the most part, communications using the Bluetooth protocol are

initiated and processed without any operator intervention, much

like the IrDA system described previously.

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Module Using CF Radio

The following section only applies when the CF (Compact Flash) WLAN module (Con-

tains FCC ID: H9PLA4137) is installed in the QL320 printer (note that only one of the

radio options can be installed in the printer at one time). The FCC ID number label is

on the front of the module and can be read with the module installed.

WARNING: Use of the QL320 with the radio module

marked “Contains FCC ID: H9PLA4137 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.

The printer with this radio option has been SAR tested. The

maximum SAR value measured was 0.26 W/kg averaged

over 1 gram.

Printers equipped for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

communications using the industry standard 802.11 or 802.11b

protocols are known as QL 320N Printers. These printers allow

wireless communication as a node within a local area network,

and its wireless capabilities allow communications from any point

within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of establishing communica-

tions to the QL 320 will vary with each LAN application.

QL 320N printers can be identified by the model number on

the front of the unit.

QL 320 User’s Guide 25

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Module Using

PCMCIA Radio

The following section only applies when the PCMCIA WLAN module (FCC ID: I28-

QL320352) is installed in the QL320 printer (note that only one of the radio options can

be installed in the printer at one time). The FCC ID number label is on the front of the

module and can be read with the module installed.

WARNING: Use of the QL320 with the radio module

marked with FCC ID: I28-QL320352 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 1cm separation

distance.

The printer with this radio option has been SAR tested. The

maximum SAR value measured was .819 W/kg averaged

over 1 gram.

Setting Up the Software

The QL 320 uses Zebra’s CPL Programming language which

was designed for mobile printing applications. CPL is fully de-

scribed in the Mobile Printing Systems Programming Manual,

which is available in Portable Document Format (.pdf) on-line at

Zebra’s website.

You can also use Label Vista™, Zebra’s Windows™ based la-

bel creation program which uses a graphical interface to create

and edit labels in the CPL language. Label Vista is available ei-

ther on-line at Zebra’s website, or on a CD (part number

AC15065-1).

The QL 320 with its optional memory upgrade can support an

interpreter for ZPL II®, the programming language used by Zebra

desktop printers. To use ZPL II, refer to the ZPL II Programming

Guide. If you choose to use a third party label preparation sys-

tem, follow the installation instructions included in the package.

Preventive Maintenance

WARNING: To avoid possible personal injury or

damage to the printer, never insert any pointed or sharp

objects into the printer.

Extending Battery Life

•Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or tempera-

tures over 104° F (40° C).

•Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for Li-

thium-Ion batteries. Use of any other kind of charger may

damage the battery.

•Choose the media that is easiest to “burn.” An authorized

Zebra re-seller can help you determine the optimum me-

dia for your application.

•If you print the same text or graphic on every label, con-

sider using a pre-printed label.

•Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for

your media.

•Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possi-

ble.

•Select Tear-Off mode whenever possible (Peel-Off mode

uses more power).

•If your printer has the optional LCD display: Use the dis-

play backlight only when necessary. Turn it off whenever

it is not needed. The LCD backlight consumes a great

deal of power.

•Pull the battery out of the printer if the printer won’t be

used for a day or more and you’re not performing a main-

tenance charge.

•Consider purchasing an extra battery.

•Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its abili-

ty to maintain a charge over time. It can only be re-

charged a finite number of times before it must be re-

placed.

Cleaning

CAUTION.- Use only the cleaning agents indicated.

Zebra Technologies Corporation will not be responsible

for damage caused by any other cleaning materials

used on this printer.

Never use any sharp objects on the printer mechanism

as they could damage the print head and platen. Clean

the printer with either the cleaning pen supplied with the

printer or a cotton swab saturated with alcohol.

Use the supplied cleaning pen or 70%

isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab to

clean the print elements from end to end

(the print elements are located in the thin

gray line on the printhead).

If print quality has not improved after

performing this procedure, try cleaning

the printhead with a Cleaning Pad. This

specially prepared material removes

contamination buildup without damaging

the printhead. Refer to Appendix C for

more information.

Rotate the platen roller and clean it

thoroughly with the cleaning pen or 70%

isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.

Units with linerless platens: Rotate platen

Communications Diagnostics

If there’s a problem transferring data between the computer

and the printer, try putting the printer in the Communications Di-

agnostics Mode (also referred to as the “DUMP” mode). The

printer will print the ASCII characters and their and their text rep-

resentation (or the period ‘.’, if not a printable character) for any

data received from the host computer

To enter Communications Diagnostics Mode:

1. Print a configuration label as described on pg. 34.

5. At the end of 2nd diagnostics report, the printer will print:

“Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode”.

6. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering

DUMP mode”.

Note: If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer will print “DUMP mode

not entered” and will resume normal operation.

7. At this point, the printer is in DUMP mode and will print the

ASCII hex codes of any data sent to it, and their text rep-

resentation (or “.” if not a printable character).

Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the ASCII

information will be created and stored in the printer’s memory. It

can be viewed, “cloned” or deleted using the Label Vista applica-

tion. (Refer the Label Vista documentation for more information.)

To terminate the Communications Diagnostics Mode and return

the printer to normal operations:

1. Turn the printer OFF.

2. Wait 5 seconds.

3. Turn the printer ON.
