ZQ630 Technology
The ZQ630 printer use several technologies made popular in other Zebra Mobile Printer product lines, as well as newer, state-of-theart technologies.
10 ZQ630 User Guide
PowerPrecision+ (PP+) Battery
The ZQ630 printer uses a 4-cell Li-Ion battery pack with integrated intelligence and data storage capability meeting PowerPrecision+ (PP+) functionality. This intelligent battery has the integrated technology required to collect the detailed realtime battery metrics needed to maximize useful battery life and ensure every battery is healthy and able to hold a full charge. In addition, technology inside the batteries tracks and maintains the metrics required to provide real-time visibility into more meaningful battery statistics, such as total cycle usage of the battery, whether the battery is old and should be retired or how long a battery will take to fully charge.
Operating Temperature
-20�C to +50�C (-4�F to 122�F)
Charging Temperature
0�C to +40�C (32�F to 104�F)
Storage Temperature
-25�C to +65�C (-13�F to 149�F)
The ZQ630 printer will only function properly with genuine Zebra smart battery packs.
The smart battery's health has three states: GOOD, REPLACE, and POOR. The battery health factor determines whether or not the printer can operate and what is communicated to the user via the display.

11 ZQ630 User Guide
Printing Technology The ZQ630 printer uses the Direct Thermal method to print human readable text, graphics and barcodes. It incorporates a sophisticated print engine for optimal printing under all operational conditions. Direct thermal printing uses heat to cause a chemical reaction on specially treated media. This reaction creates a dark mark wherever a heated element on the printhead comes in contact with the media. Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at 203 d.p.i. (dots per inch) horizontal and 200 d.p.i. vertical, highly legible characters and graphic elements may be created a row at a time as the media is advanced past the printhead. This technology has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable supplies such as ink or toner. However, since the media is sensitive to heat, it will gradually lose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures or in direct sunlight.
QR Code The QR barcode includes human readable text URL, for example www.zebra.com/zq630-info, which links the user to printer information and short videos on topics such as buying supplies, features overview, loading media, printing a configuration report, cleaning instructions, and accessory information.

Made for iPhone (MFi) ZQ630 printer supports communication with Apple devices running iOS 10 or later over a standalone Bluetooth 4.1 radio and the BT4.1 radio included with the 802.11ac (dual) radio.
Near Field Communication (NFC) The ZQ630 printer supports a passive NFC tag which complies with the "Android Standard Tag format" since Android devices are the most common found on the market today. The NFC tag is programmed from the factory and supports Bluetooth pairing to enable a tablet, smartphone or terminal to automatically pair with the printer via a Bluetooth connection (within the bounds of the security profile being used). The NFC tag also supports app launching whereby an app developed either by Zebra or a third party will launch on a NFCenabled smartphone, tablet or terminal. Similarly, the NFC tag enables launching to a web support page via a tablet, smartphone or terminal.
Color LCD Display The ZQ630 printer features a color, non-touch LCD display which supports a 288x240 pixel viewable area. The user will be able to view the display in both room light and night time conditions. The display is capable of displaying colored text as well as color images. In order to save power, the display will dim after a configurable timeout.
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) The ZQ630 printer is equipped with an RFID encoder/reader, which is integrated into the printer's printhead assembly. The ZQ630 encodes (writes) information on ultra-thin UHF RFID transponders that are embedded in "smart" labels, tickets, and tags. The printer encodes the information; verifies proper encoding; and prints bar codes, graphics, and/or text on the label's surface. The ZQ630 printer uses Zebra's extensive set of RFID commands running under ZPL programming language.
13 ZQ630 User Guide
The RFID transponder is sometimes called the RFID tag or an inlay. The transponder is usually made of an antenna that is bonded to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The IC chip contains the RF circuit, coders, decoders, and memory. If you hold an RFID label up to the light, you can see the transponder's antenna, and you can feel a bump in the label where the IC chip is located. The ZQ630 can encode and verify EPC (Electronic Product Code) Generation 2 Class 1 UHF passive RFID tags, in addition to printing human readable text and conventional 1 and 2-D barcode information on Zebra supplied RFID thermal transfer media. EPC is a product numbering standard that can be used to identify a variety of items by using RFID technology. EPC Generation 2 tags offer advantages over other tag types. The tag identification (TID) memory in a Generation 2 tag includes the chip manufacturer and model number information, which can be used to identify which optional features are present on the tag. These optional features include those for data content and security.
Gen 2 tags typically have a 96-bit EPC identifier, which is different from the 64-bit identifiers common in early EPC tags. The 96-bit EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing productspecific information along the supply chain. Gen 2 tags also support much larger data structures. The size of user memory available (if any) varies by the model and manufacturer of the tag.
Encoding and printing of an RFID label usually are completed on the first try, but some failures may occur. If you experience consistent encoding failures, it may signal a problem with the RFID tags, your label formats, or with the transponder placement. If an RFID tag cannot be encoded, "VOID" will be printed on the label. The printer then attempts to read/encode "n" labels before the next format is attempted, where "n" is specified by the ZPL programming language "^RS" command. Acceptable values of "n" are 1 to 10 and the default is 3. After printing the defined number of voided RFID labels, the printer default is No Action (Label format causing the error is dropped).
While the user doesn't have control of where on the label the VOID is printed, they can control the length of the image. The start of the VOID image is always at the program position (or F0 if a backward program position). More information on the "^RS" command may be found in the RFID Programming Guide 3 available on zebra.com.
Please refer to Appendix D for details on RFID menu options.
Note � RFID is an optional feature on the ZQ630 and is a factoryinstalled option only.

ZQ630 User Guide
RFID Calibration
RFID calibration sets communication parameters for your tag type. This procedure should be done after the printer has been calibrated for the media (length and gap settings), typically a label length calibration. During the RFID calibration process, the printer moves the media, calibrates the RFID tag position, and determines the optimal settings for the RFID media being used.
These settings include the programming position, the read/write power level to use. To restore the printer's default programming position at any time, use the "restore" option in the rfid.tag.calibrate SGD command.
Do not remove any labels or tag from the liner (label backing or `web'). This allows the printer to determine RFID settings which do not encode adjacent tags.
Always do a Label Length Calibration and RFID Calibration when you change media type. It should not be necessary when simply replacing an empty roll of the same media.
Before beginning, load RFID media into the printer and perform the label length calibration.
1. Press the Feed button
once to advance one label.
2. Press the Home button . Navigate to the RFID menu button and press the `OK' button on the keypad.
3. Use the `Left' and `Right' arrows on the keypad to browse to the `RFID CALIBRATE' procedure. Press the `OK' button on the keypad.
4. The printer will slowly feed a label while adjusting the location and RFID read/write communication settings for your chosen RFID tag/ label. The printer will feed an additional label in some cases when calibration has completed successfully with the display message reading: READY.
5. Remove the excess media. Media calibration has finished and you are ready to print.

The Sleep Mode feature is a way the printer conserves battery life whereby the printer will automatically go into a "sleep" state after twenty (20) minutes of inactivity. When the printer is in this state there will be no content displayed on the LCD in addition to no backlight. The printer will indicate Sleep Mode by a slow blinking green LED ring around the Power Button.
If the Power Button is pressed for less than three (3) seconds, then the printer will go into sleep mode. The printer will indicate this on the LCD in the form of a "Sleeping" Info Alert (see Figure17), which disappears when the display turns off.
Figure17 � Sleep Mode Info Message
40 ZQ630 User Guide
When the printer is in sleep mode, the green LED ring around the power button will pulse approximately once every three seconds. Pressing any button on the printer will wake the printer from sleep mode. Other power mangement features of the ZQ630 printer include "wake on Bluetooth" and "wake on WiFi" whereby the printer exits sleep mode due to data exchanged via Bluetooth 4.1 or a network message received over WiFi. The printer will not enter sleep mode when docked in an Ethernet cradle. To enable or disable Sleep Mode, send the power.sleep.enable command to the printer using Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) and set it to either "on" or "off". (The default setting is "on".) To set the time after which the printer will enter Sleep Mode, send the power.sleep.timeout (in seconds) to the printer using the ZSU.
Adaptive Print Performance
The ZQ630 printer uses PSPT PrintSmart Gen 2 technology which adapts to your print conditions such that print quality is not sacrificed. When the printer sees environmental conditions such as state of charge, battery health, cold temperature extremes, or high density printing, the printer will adjust print performance to preserve battery function and allow printing to continue. This may affect the speed and sound of printing but not the print quality.
Draft Mode
The user can configure the printer to print in Draft Mode via SGD command media.draft_mode (default is "off"), which optimizes the printer for text-only printing. While in Draft Mode, print speed increases from 4 inches per second (ips) to 5 ips with approximately a 22% reduction in optical density.
Note � For an explanation and a list of all SGD commands, please refer to the Programming Guide (p/n P1012728-010) at: http://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads.html
41 ZQ630 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" 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 or gaps 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 the report.
The report indicates model, serial number, baud rate, and more detailed information on the printer's configuration and parameter settings. (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:
� ZQ630 printer can communicate by cable via either RS-232C or USB 2.0 protocols. Windows drivers that support printing via Serial, USB and the network are included in the Zebra Designer Driver which can be downloaded from www.zebra.com/drivers.
� By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) per 802.11 specifications. (Optional)
� By means of the Ethernet when docked on the Ethernet cradle. � By means of a Bluetooth short range radio frequency link. � WinMobile�, Blackberry�, and Android� devices use standard
Bluetooth protocol. � ZQ630 printer is compatible with iOS devices, therefore printing
via Bluetooth to an Apple� device is possible.
42 ZQ630 User Guide
Cable Communication
Caution � The printer should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting a communications cable.
The ZQ630 printer 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 14-pin serial connector on your communications cable plugs into the serial communications port on the side of the printer. ZQ630 printer also have a USB port.
USB Communications The small 5-pin connector on the USB 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.
Figure18 � Communications Options
Communications Port
Communications Cable to Terminal. Part #'s vary. Refer to Appendix A.
RS-232C or USB Communications Cable to Computer. (Refer to Appendix A for part #'s.)
43 ZQ630 User Guide
The other end of the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in Figure 18, or to a serial or USB port on a computer. The ZQ630 printer is configured with the USB Open HCI interface driver allowing it to communicate with Windows� based devices.
Zebra Designer Driver uses Windows drivers that support printing via Serial, USB and the network. 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 either a USB or RS-232 communications cable to the printer permanently, access the communications port on the side of the printer next to the latch release lever. Plug the connector into the appropriate port and align the plastic locking cap with the cut outs shown below. Rotate the locking cap clockwise to lock the cable in place. (Turn counter clockwise to unlock the cable.) Once locked in place, this provides strain relief for the cable and will prevent the cable from disconnecting from the printer.
1. Insert connector in communications port.
2. Rotate locking cap clockwise to secure.
Note � Only one cable can be present in the USB/RS-232 communications port at a time for strain relief purposes.
44 ZQ630 User Guide
Zebra Setup Utilities
Before you start to configure your printer for use on a Local Area Network (LAN), you will need some basic information which will enable you to establish the network configuration for your printer. Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) provides a quick and easy way to configure your printers for a variety of purposes, including setting them up for wireless communications either on a Local Area Network (LAN) or using the international BluetoothTM communications standard. Once ZSU has been downloaded to your computer, attach the USB cable to the printer and computer as shown in Figure18. Go to http://www.zebra.com/setup to download ZSU Installer.
Zebra Android Printer Setup Utility (for Link-OS Printers) The ZQ630 printer can also be configured using the Zebra Android Printer Setup Utility. This utility can be downloaded from Google Play to an Android device such as a smartphone or the TC51 or TC56 mobile handheld computers. The Android mobile device can be paired with the printer via Bluetooth or a USB cablle and users can quickly navigate the app to perform the following tasks.

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. This form of pointto-point communication does not require access points or other infrastructure. 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). The default for the ZQ630 is Class 2, but the range can be set to Class 1 via a SGD (bluetooth.power_class) to increase power. Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth standard.
Bluetooth Networking Overview Each Bluetooth enabled ZQ630 printer is identified by a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDADDR). This address resembles a MAC address whereby the first three bytes are vendor, and the last three bytes are device (e.g. 00:22:58:3C:B8:CB). This address is labeled on the back of the printer via a barcode for ease of pairing. (For the dual radio, the MAC address label only represents WiFi MAC address. See page 49.) 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 client) must request/initiate a connection with another. The second device (the server) then accepts or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled ZQ6 printer will normally act as a slave creating a miniature network with the terminal sometimes referred to as a "piconet". Discovery identifies Bluetooth devices that are available for pairing whereby the master device broadcasts a discovery request and devices respond. If a device is not discoverable, the master cannot pair unless in knows the BDADDR or has previously paired with the device. If both devices support Bluetooth 2.1 or higher they will use Security Level 4 Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), a mandatory security architecture that features two (2) association models: Numeric Comparison and Just Works (no user confirmation).
46 ZQ630 User Guide
Bluetooth Security Modes
Security Mode 1
If a BT>/= 2.1 device is pairing with a BT</= 2.0 device, it falls back to BT 2.0 compatibility mode and behaves the same as BT 2.0. If both devices are BT >/= 2.1, Secure Simple Pairing must be used according to the BT spec.
Security Mode 2
If a BT >/= 2.1 device is pairing with a BT </= 2.0 device, it falls back to BT 2.0 compatibility mode and behaves the same as BT 2.0. If both devices are BT >/= 2.1, Secure Simple Pairing must be used according to the BT spec.
Security Mode 3
If a BT >/= 2.1 device is pairing with a BT </= 2.0 device, it falls back to BT 2.0 compatibility mode and behaves the same as BT 2.0. If both devices are BT >/= 2.1, Secure Simple Pairing must be used according to the BT spec.
Security Mode 4: Simple Secure Pairing
Simple Secure Pairing: a new security architecture introduced supported in BT >= 2.1. Service-level enforced, similar to mode 2. Mandatory when both devices are BT >= 2.1. There are four association models currently supported by mode 4. Security requirements for services must be classified as one of the following: authenticated link key required, unauthenticated link key required, or no security required. SSP improves security through the addition of ECDH public key cryptography for protection against passive eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks during pairing.
Numeric Comparison
Designed for situation where both devices are capable of displaying a six-digit number and allowing user to enter "yes" or "no" response. During pairing, user enters "yes" if number displayed on both devices matches to complete pairing. Differs from the use of PINs in legacy (BT<=2.0) pairing because the number displayed for comparison is not used for subsequent link key generation, so even if it is viewed or captured by an attacker, it could not be used to determine the resulting link or encryption key.
Just Works
Designed for situation where one (or both) of the pairing devices has neither a display nor keyboard for entering digits (e.g. Bluetooth headset). It performs authentication step 1 in the same manner as as numeric comparison, but the user cannot verify that both values match, so MITM (man-in-the-middle) protection is not provided. This is the only model in SSP that does not provide authenticated link keys.
Each mode, except for Just Works, has Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) protection, meaning no third device can view the data being passed between the two devices involved. The SSP mode is usually negotiated automatically based on the capabilities of both the master and slave. Lower security modes can be disabled via the bluetooth.minimum_security_mode SGD. The bluetooth.minimum_security_mode SGD sets the lowest security level at which the printer will establish a Bluetooth connection. The printer will always connect at a higher security level if requested by the master device. To change the security mode and security settings in the ZQ630 printer, use Zebra Setup Utilities.

bluetooth.minimum_security_mode sets the lowest security level at which the printer will establish a Bluetooth connection. The printer will always connect at a higher security level if requested by the master device.
The ZQ630 printer also features bonding for Bluetooth. The printer caches pairing info so devices stay paired through power cycles and disconnects. This eliminates the need to repair on every connection establishment. The bluetooth.bonding SGD is on by default.
Note � For detailed information on Bluetooth, please refer to the Bluetooth Wireless User Guide (P1068791-002) at: http://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads.html
In addition, the ZQ630 printer supports passive Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Using the "Print Touch" feature located on the side of the printer, end-users can automatically pair with a handheld device that supports NFC technology. The NFC tag has the printer's BDADDR encoded in a URL on the tag. Simply touching the NFC handheld device to the "Print Touch" icon on the printer will connect and pair the handheld device to the printer.

Setting Up the Software
ZQ630 printer use Zebra's CPCL, ZPL or EPL Programming languages which were designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL and ZPL are fully described in the ZPL Programming Guide (p/n P1012728-010), CPCL Programming Guide (p/n P1073699001) and ZPL II Programming Guide (p/n 46530L) available online at https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads.html. You can also use ZebraDesigner Pro v2, Zebra's Windows� based label creation program which uses a graphical interface to create and edit labels in either language. Refer to Appendix H for tips on downloading the Designer Pro application from Zebra's Web site.
Designing Labels
The following examples provide guidelines for designing labels for the ZQ630 printer, specifically for Gap Media, Black Bar Media and Journal Media. The illustrations for each media type define recommended tolerances, keep-out zones and safe printing zones designed to avoid any vertical registration issues during printing. Dimensions are determined based on product registration capabilities and Zebra-recommended media tolerances.

Using Pre-Printed Receipt Media ZQ630 printers support alignment of pre-printed receipts by using the out of paper sensor located near the printhead.
Black Mark Dimensions (Receipt Media) The reflective media black marks (or black bar/marks) should extend past the centerline of the roll on the front side of the paper. � Minimum mark width: 0.59 in. (15 mm) perpendicular to the edge of the media, and centered within the width of the roll. � Mark length: 0.19 - 0.24 in. (4.8 - 6.0 mm) parallel to the edge of the media.
Label Areas The media/black bar sensor detects the dark, pre-printed bar on the media, so a path in the center of the paper must be kept free of dark, pre-printed graphics.
Note � Dark, pre-printed graphics refer to any symbols, barcodes, text and/or colored areas that have been applied to the receipt paper rolls before they have ever been used in the printer.

Communications Diagnostics If there is 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 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 above. 2. At the end of the diagnostics report, the printer will print: "Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode". 3. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: "Entering DUMP mode".
68 ZQ630 User Guide
Note � If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer will print "DUMP mode not entered" and will resume normal operation.
4. 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 Net Bridge application. (Refer to the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise documentation for more information.) 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.

Appendix B
Media Supplies
To insure maximum printer life and consistent print quality and performance for your individual application, it is recommended that only media produced by Zebra be used. This includes Zebra RFID media made for the ZQ630. Non-Zebra RFID media may not pass RFID calibration. Advantages include: � Consistent quality and reliability of media products. � Large range of stocked and standard formats. � In-house custom format design service. � Large production capacity which services the needs of many
large and small media consumers including major retail chains world wide. � Media products that meet or exceed industry standards. For more information go the Zebra website (www.zebra.com) and select the Products tab, or refer to the CD included with the printer.
Note � It is recommended that linerless media be stored at temperatures between 20oC and 35oC.
Appendix C
Maintenance Supplies
In addition to using quality media provided by Zebra, it is recommended that the printer be cleaned as prescribed in the maintenance section. The following item is available for this purpose: � Cleaning Pen (12 pack): p/n 105950-035
