QLn Series User Guide
Printer Operation with Cradle
• All QLn Series printers will charge when placed in their
supported cradles.
• Only QLn Series printers that have the Ethernet option in-
stalled will connect to an Ethernet network. Check the
PCC code on the back of the printer (see Appendix
D for location). Codes of the form QNx-xxxxx0xx-xx
do not support Ethernet, and codes of the form QNx-
xxxxxExx-xx or QNx-xxxxxMxx-xx do support Ethernet
(where “x” means don’t care). You can also check the
“Communications” sub-menu on the LCD (see Main
Menu Screen on page 38). After selecting this sub-menu,
any communication options not installed will be so indi-
cated.
• When power is applied to the cradle and the printer is
docked, the printer charge LED indicates the charge sta-
tus of the printer (see Figure 18).
• Docking the printer in the cradle will automatically turn
the printer on to ensure it is available to be managed re-
motely.
• When the printer detects input power from the cradle, and
the presence of a live Ethernet link, it will automatically
reboot and connect to the Ethernet network.
• For printers with an 802.11 radio, this interface will be
turned off when the Ethernet link is active. It will turn
back on if the Ethernet link is no longer active.
• For printers with a Bluetooth radio, this interface will re-
main active while the printer is in the cradle.
• The serial and USB ports will remain active while the print-
er is in the cradle.
• The DC input barrel jack connector (see Figure 12) cannot
be used while the printer is in the cradle. The DC barrel
jack should be plugged directly into the cradle insted.
NOTE: The printer provides over voltage protection such that no
damage occurs when voltages from 0-36V are applied at the DC
Power jack. Upon application of voltage greater than 36V, the DC line
fuse will permanently open to reduce re hazard. The battery is only
charged when 12VDC is applied using the Zebra AC adapter.
