Introduction
Thank you for choosing our Zebra QL 320 Mobile Printer. This
rugged printer is sure to become a productive and efficient addition 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 create and print labels using the CPL language, refer to the
Mobile Printer Programming Guide (availale on our website 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® Programming 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 programming language. If either manual was not ordered
with the printer, simply call your re-seller or Zebra Technologies Corporation or visit the Zebra web site.

• 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 monitoring 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.
QL 320 User’s Guide
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

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
detailed on following pages.
Standard Keypad
The standard keypad has three control buttons and two multipurpose indicators.
• The Power button turns the QL 320 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 button is controlled by a printer’s specific application 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 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.
• Printers with a wireless QuickLink module installed: a rapQL 320 User’s Guide

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 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 information 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
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 cable 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 terminal 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
communications 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 communications 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 linkable devices and establish communications between them, even turning
the printer on if necessary.

QL 320 User’s Guide
SRRF Communications
Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow 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 communications (SRRF) allow wireless communication with their host terminals 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 together, 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
QL 320 User’s Guide
21
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 algorithm which converts the serial number into an address. Zebra
can provide C source code to licensed OEM customers that handles 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 operation 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 installed 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
22
QL 320 User’s Guide
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 devices 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 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 320 will normally act as a slave, but in theory any Bluetooth 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 access 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 printing 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 (Authentication).
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
QL 320 User’s Guide
23
Sandy’s Printer. (Some Bluetooth services disconnect automatically, 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 (Contains 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

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 described 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 label creation program which uses a graphical interface to create
and edit labels in the CPL language. Label Vista is available either 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 system, 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 temperatures over 104° F (40° C).
• Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for Lithium-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 media for your application.
• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, consider using a pre-printed label.
• Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for
your media.
• Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possible.
• Select Tear-Off mode whenever possible (Peel-Off mode
uses more power).
• If your printer has the optional LCD display: Use the display 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 maintenance charge.
• Consider purchasing an extra battery.
• Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its ability to maintain a charge over time. It can only be recharged a finite number of times before it must be replaced.

Communications Diagnostics
If there’s a problem transferring data between the computer
and the printer, try putting the printer in the Communications Diagnostics Mode (also referred to as the “DUMP” mode). The
printer will print the ASCII characters and their and their text representation (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 representation (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 application. (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.
