SERF Communications Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow either the Bluetooth standard or Zebra's proprietary SERF protocol. The communications protocol is determined by the specific Quick Link module installed in the printer. Printers equipped for short range radio frequency communications (SERF} allow wireless communication with their host terminals from any direction. Reliable transmission distances will vary but usually exceed 1m. (397) under worst conditions.
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 cede fo licensed OEM customers that handles the conversion from serial number to address.
Bluetooth™ Networking Overview A Exposure fo Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is far below the FCC radii frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this Bluetooth radio must be used in such a manner that the antenna 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.
wiry) 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.
Wireless Local Area Network (ELAN) WARNING: Use of the QL 320 will resulting exposure to Radio Frequency radiation. To conform to FCC RF exposure requirements the printer must be used only in the intended orientation and in the intended manner. Printers equipped for Wireless Local Area Network (ELAN) communications using the industry standard 802.11 or 802.11b protocols are known as QL 320N Printers.
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.
Adjustable Shoulder Strap Refer to Figure 14, below. Snap each end of the shoulder strap into the “D” rings in the top of the printer. Slide the buckle away from or towards the printer until you achieve the desired length. Pull Strap here Pull Strap here to lengthen fo shorten Snap into D” rings on printer Figure 14 Ql.
Belt Clip If the QL 320 Is equipped with a belt clip, hook the clip over your belt, and ensure that the clip is securely attached to the belt. The belt clip will pivot to allow you to move freely while wearing the printer.
Preventive Maintenance A 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 fo direct sunlight or temperatures over 104° F (40° C). + Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for Lithium-Lon batteries. Use of any other kind of charger may damage the battery. + Choose the media that is easiest to “burn.

Cleaning A 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 it could damage the print head. Use only the cleaning pen supplied with the printer or a cotton swab saturated with alcohol for cleaning the printer.
Troubleshooting Standard Control Panel If the printer is not functioning properly, refer to the chart below to find the state of the two LED on the Control Panel. Then refer to the Troubleshooting topic referenced in the chart to resolve the problem: Green LED Yellow LED Indication Ret.
Troubleshooting Topics 1. No power « Check that battery is instated properly « Recharge or replace battery as necessary. 2. Media does not feed: + Be sure print head is closed and latched. «Check spindle holding media for any binding: + If unit is equipped with label presence sensor: Insure most recently printed label is removed. Also insure label sensor is not blocked. 3. Poor or faded print or [TB flashing: + Clean print head. + Check battery and recharge or replace as necessary + Check quality of media.
8. Yellow error light always flashing: « Check media is loaded and print head is closed and securely latched. 10. Skips labels: + Check media for top of form sense mark or label gap. » Check that the maximum print field has not been exceeded on label. + Insure bar/ or gap sensor is not blockade or malfunctioning 11. Communication Error: + Check media is loaded, head is closed and error fight is off. « Check baud rate. + Replace cable to terminal. 12.
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 priced , if not a printable character) for any data received from the host computer To enter Communications Diagnostics Mode: 1.
