QLn-EC Ethernet Cradle

The Ethernet Cradle (EC) is an expansion base intended for use with

the QLn320 printer, as well as the QLn220 printer. There is a four bay

cradle (QLn-EC4) or a single bay option (QLn-EC) as shown on pages

19 and 20.

It provides charging power to the docked printer as well as provid-

ing a standard 10/100Mb/S Ethernet port for communication to the

printer. The EC also supplies battery charging power to the docked

printer and acts as a supplementary power source for a functioning

QLn printer.

The EC features two green LED’s to indicate the status of the

cradle: Solid green to indicate when power is provided to

the input of the EC; and blinking green to indicate Ethernet ac-

tivity .

The cradle allows the user to dock the printer easily and remove

it with the push of a button. The printer shall remain operable while

docked, i.e. display is viewable, charge LED status is viewable, and

printer controls and data entry are available. The printer will still print

while docked and the user shall be able to replace the media as well.

NOTE: Remove the “Docking Cradle Access” label on the bottom of

the printer before docking the printer in the cradle.
