Media Black Bar Sensor The EZ320 media black bar sensor default position for standard 80mm media is located on the right side of the media compartment when looking at the printer from the front (as shown below). There is also an alternate position for 80mm media on the left side and two (2) positions for 60mm media (one on the right side and one on the left). In all cases only one sensor position will be populated at a time. Which sensor position is populated is dependant on the size of the media and location of the black bar on the media. Descriptions of all four (4) positions are detailed below. Figure 10: Black Bar Sensor Positions Used with 60 mm paper, black bar on right. Default position used with 80 mm paper, black bar on right (sensor not visible). Used with 80 mm paper, black bar on left. Used with 60 mm paper, black bar on left. 18 EZ320 User Guide Operator Controls EZ320 printer controls are detailed in Figure 11 on the following page. The printer has two control buttons and four multipurpose indicators. The Power Button turns the printer on and off. The Feed Button advances a length of media until it is released. The Green/Amber indicator to the left of the Power Button indicates the status of the printer’s built-in charger: • The indicator is off indicates the battery is not being charged. • If the indicator is amber the battery is being charged. • If the indicator is green, the battery is fully charged. The Blue Bluetooth Indicator between the Power and Feed buttons has two states: • A solid blue indicator means Bluetooth is connected and paired with no data transfer activity. • A rapidly blinking blue light indicates a transfer of data. The Amber Indicator to the right of the Feed button (Fig. 11) is an error indicator. • An unlit indicator means there is no error condition and the printer can be used. • A blinking (and beeping) indicator could mean one of three conditions exist, which will inhibit printer operation: 1. There is no media loaded. 2. The media cover is open. 3. If both the above conditions are met and the error light is still flashing, there could be no firmware loaded in the printer, or the firmware could have become corrupted. The Three Green LED’s just above the product I.D. label is a battery status indicator. • Three LED’s lit represents 100% charge. • Two LED’s lit represents 66% charge. 19 EZ320 User Guide • One LED lit represents 33% charge. This LED will be closest to the minus sign on the battery status icon and will blink and beep to alert the user of a low battery condition. Figure 11: EZ320 Printer Controls Bluetooth Indicator (Blue) Solid blue indicates connected. Rapid blinking blue indicates data is being transferred. Power Button Press until power/battery lights turn on, then release. (Power on takes approx. 0.75 sec.) Press again to turn unit off. Feed Button Press to advance the media. Release to stop. Error Status Indicator (Amber) Charge Indicator (Green/Amber) When off Indicates normal operation. Blinking amber LED indicates either no media or that the media compartment is open and beeper will sound. Solid green indicates a fully charged battery. Solid amber indicates the battery is charging. Battery Status Indicator Three green LED’s indicate battery’s level of charge (i.e. 33%, 66%, 100%). LED closest to minus sign will blink green at low battery warning and beeper will sound. 20 EZ320 User 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 hold the Power button and keep the Feed button pressed. 4. When the printer turns on and printing starts, release the Power button and then 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, etc. The second report prints approximately 10 seconds after the first report and 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 two basic ways: • Via a cable using the USB 2.0 protocol. USB drivers are included in the Zebra DesignerDriver which can be downloaded from www.zebra.com. • By means of a Bluetooth short range radio link. 21 EZ320 User Guide Cable Communication Caution • The printer should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting the communications cable. The mini USB Type B connector on the cable plugs into the printer. The connectors are keyed to assure correct alignment; do not try to force the cable if it does not plug in. The standard USB Type A end of the cable must be plugged into the USB port on a computer as shown in Figure 12. The EZ320 utilizes the USB Open HCI interface driver allowing it to communicate with Windows® based devices. USB drivers are included in the Zebra Designer 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 manufacturer for further details. Figure 12: Communications with a P.C. USB Communications Cable to Computer Refer to Appendix A for details. Communications Port 22 EZ320 User Guide 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. The range of a Bluetooth device is approximately 10 meters (32 feet). Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth standard. Bluetooth Networking Overview Each Bluetooth enabled EZ320 printer is identified by a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into the printer when manufactured. The printer BDA can be obtained from the diagnostic report (see page 35). 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) must request a connection with another. The second device (the slave) then accepts or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled EZ320 printer will act as a slave creating a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) with the terminal sometimes referred to as a “piconet.”. About Bluetooth Security The Bluetooth radio in this printer complies with the Bluetooth specification 2.0 + EDR and therefore supports security modes 1, 2, and 3. The end user can select the security mode at which the printer will operate by configuring this parameter using Zebra Setup Utility (ZSU). • Security Mode 1 is non-secure. Authentication and encryption functionality are bypassed. The printer is shipped with default Security Mode 1. • Security Mode 2 is a secure mode that requires authentication and encryption. This is considered a service level-enforced security where security procedures are initiated after the LinkManager Protocol (LMP) is established. This is the host controller (radio module) responsibility and happens at the lower layers of communication including radio and baseband. 23 EZ320 User Guide • Security Mode 3 is the more secure method supported, also called link level-enforced security. A device initiates security procedures before a physical link is fully established. Security Mode 3 mandates authentication and encryption for all connections to and from the device. In Security Mode 3, the printer is not discoverable. • Security Mode 4 is supported only by Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR. The EZ320 printer complies with Bluetooth v2.0 so it does not support Security Mode 4. Certain Bluetooth parameters in the printer can be configured using Zebra Setup Utility (ZSU). ZSU can be downloaded free of charge from Zebra.com. The Bluetooth settings that are configurable in the printer are: Authentication (ON/OFF), PIN (up to 16 digits), Discoverable (ON/OFF), Security Mode (1, 2, or 3 depending on the BT specification supported) and Friendly Name. The printer default settings can be obtained from the diagnostic report (see page 35). The default “friendly name” of the printer is set as the printer’s serial number. The friendly name can be configured to any value by using ZSU. The EZ320 default Bluetooth Authentication is setpin and requires a PIN to be entered. The default PIN is 1234. 24 EZ320 User Guide Carrying the Printer Belt Strap Refer to Figure 13 below for instructions on how to secure the belt strap to the printer and belt. Figure 13: Using the Belt Strap 1) Insert the non-looped end of the belt strap through the slot in the bottom front of the printer. 2) Secure the non-looped end to other end of the belt strap using the two Velcro pads. 3) Slide the looped end of the strap over the belt as shown. Belt 4) The printer should hang freely from the belt as shown. Belt 25 EZ320 User Guide continued
