Nylon Soft Case
The EZ320 printer also has the option of being used with a
Nylon Soft Case (not included) which allows the user greater
portability. The case loops onto a users belt and provides ac-
cess to the printers paper path and printer controls. Use of
the soft case is illustrated in Figure 14 below.
Figure 14: Using the Optional Soft Case
Belt
1) Slide the EZ320 printer into
the soft case so that the paper exit
path lines up with the opening on
the case.
2) The belt is fed through the
belt loop on the back of the soft
case to secure in place.

Preventive Maintenance
Extending Battery Life
• Always observe the safety precautions in the Lithium-
Ion Battery Technical Bulletin included with each Battery
Pack.
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or tempera-
tures over 60° C (140° F).
• Do not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds
45° C (113° F).
• Always use a Zebra power supply designed specifical-
ly for the EZ320 printers. Use of any other kind of power
supply may damage the battery.
• Use the correct media for your printing requirements. An
authorized Zebra re-seller can help you determine the op-
timum media 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.
NOTE: The Tone setting can be modied via a Set/Get/Do command.
Please refer to the CPCL Programming Manual at
www.zebra.com/manuals for details.
• Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its
ability to maintain a charge over time. It can only be re-
charged a finite number of times before it must be re-
placed. Always dispose of batteries properly.
• If you print while charging the battery, charge times will
be prolonged. Extensive printing while charging could
deplete the battery enough to cause the low battery
warning indicator to turn on. You should suspend printing
at that time and allow the battery to re-charge completely.

EZ320 User Guide
4. Partial or missing print:
Check media alignment.
Clean printhead.
Ensure Media Cover is properly closed and latched.
5. No print:
Replace battery.
Check cable to terminal.
(Bluetooth units only) Re-Pair Bluetooth connection with
Master device.
6. Reduced battery life:
Check battery date code — if battery is one to two years
old, short life may be due to normal aging.
Recharge or replace battery.
7. Flashing Amber indicator:
Check that media is loaded and that printhead is closed and
securely latched.
If media is present and latch is closed, indicates that no
application is present or application is corrupted. Program
must be re-loaded.
8. Communication Error:
(Bluetooth units only) Check that media is loaded, head is
closed and blue communication link light is on.
(USB) Replace cable to terminal.
9. Label Jam:
Open media cover.

To print out a listing of the printers current configuration fol-
low these steps:
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, release the Power button, and
once printing starts, release the Feed button.
Refer to Figures 17a, 17b, and 17c for a sample configuration
printout.
Communications Diagnostics
If there is a problem transferring data between the computer and
the printer, try putting the printer in the Communications Diagnostics
Mode. The printer will print the ASCII characters and their text repre-
sentation (or the period ., if not a printable character) for any data re-
ceived from the host computer
To enter Communications Diagnostics Mode:
1. Print a configuration label as described above.
2. At the end of 2nd diagnostics report, the printer will print: “Press
FEED key to enter Diagnostics mode”.
3. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering Diagnostics
mode.
Note • If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer
will print “Diagnostics mode not entered” and will resume normal
operation.
4. At this point, the printer is in Diagnostics mode and will print the
ASCII hex codes of any data sent to it, and their text representa-
tion (or “.” if not a printable character).
Additionally, a file with a .dmp extension containing the ASCII in-
formation will be created and stored in the printers memory.
34
EZ320 User Guide
To terminate the Communications Diagnostics Mode and re-
turn the printer to normal operations:
1. Turn the printer OFF.
2. Wait 5 seconds.
3. Turn the printer ON.
