• Open the protective cover on the QLn Series printer
to expose the DC input charger jack.
• Connect the appropriate AC power cord for your geography
to the adapter and then plug the power cord into an AC re-
ceptacle.
• Plug the barrel plug from the AC adapter into the
charger jack on the printer.
• The printer will power up and begin charging. The printer
can be left on or turned off at this point. Charging will con-
tinue in either state, the status of which will be monitored
by the LED charge indicator on the front of the printer.
Batteries are shipped uncharged. Remove protective shrink-
wrap and labels from new battery packs and allow them to
charge completely prior to initial use.
While it’s possible to charge the battery when using the
printer, charge times will increase under this condition.
The QLn220 and 320 extended capacity battery is not
compatible with the QLn-EC and EC4 Ethernet cradles.
