QLn Series User Guide
Connecting the Printer
The printer must establish communications with a host ter-
minal which sends the data to be printed. Communications
occur in four basic ways:
• QLn Series printers can communicate by cable via either
RS-232C or USB 2.0 protocols. USB drivers 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. (Optional)
• By means of a Bluetooth short range radio frequency link.
(Optional)
• WinMobile
®
, Blackberry

, and Android
®
devices use
standard Bluetooth protocol.
• QLn Series printers are compatible with iOS devic-
es, therefore printing via Bluetooth to an Apple
®
device is
possible.
