Model UCLI72-4 Quad Charger The UCLI72-4 Quad Charger is designed to charge up to four QL Series battery packs simultaneously. Batteries must be removed from the printer to be charged in the Quad Charger. 1. Ensure that the charger has been installed properly per the Quad Charger instruction manual. Ensure that the power indicator on the front panel is on. 2. Remove any protective shrink-wrap and labels from all battery packs prior to use.
Battery packs which are only partially discharged will take less time to reach their charged state. Batteries which have reached 80% of their charge capacity may be used, however, it is recommended that you allow the batteries to reach a full charge to maintain maximum battery life. The UCLI72-4 Quad Charger has a safety feature which stops charging a battery after six hours regardless of its charge state. Figure 4: Quad Charger Power Supply 1. Slide Battery Pack into Charger bay 2.
Use of any charger not approved specifically by Zebra for use with its batteries could cause damage to the battery pack or the printer and will void the warranty. Charger Safety Use care in locating either the single Charger or the Quad Charger. Do not block the ventilating slots on the top and bottom covers. Ensure that the Charger is plugged into a power source which won’t accidently be turned off if you will be charging batteries overnight.
Loading the Media You can operate QL Series printers in one of two different modes: Tear-Off or Peel-Off. Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is printed. In Peel-Off mode, the backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After you remove this label, the next one is printed. Installing the Media QL 420 and QL 220 Printers 1. Open the printer: Refer to Figure 5 (QL 420 shown).
QL 320 Printers 1A. Open the printer: Refer to Figure 5a. • Rotate the latch release levers on each side of the printer as shown at “1” below. The latch assembly will flip open automatically as shown at “2”. • Rotate the Media Cover back as shown at “3”, exposing the media compartment and the adjustable media supports.
All models 2. Load the media: Loading media from an internal supply. Refer to Figure 6. • Pull the media supports apart, insert the roll of media between them, and let the media supports close. Ensure that the media pulls off the core in the direction shown in Figure 6. The supports will adjust themselves to the width of the media, and the media should be able to spin freely on the supports. Figure 6: Installing Media Media Roll Note direction media pulls off the roll. Pull Media Supports apart.
QL 420 Only 2A. Load the media (continued): Loading media from an external supply. Refer to Figure 7. The QL 420 has a loading slot in the rear of the media compartment which allows you to use standard 4” (101.6 mm) wide fan-fold media from an external supply. The external supply must be designed such that it does not exert excessive drag as media is fed through the printer, which could result in distorted printing.
3. Close the Media Cover: Refer to Figure 8. • If you plan to use the printer in the tear-off mode, close the media cover as shown at “2”, then rotate the latch assembly as shown until it locks into place, as shown at “4”. • If you plan to use the printer in the peel-off mode, peel a few labels off of the media and pull it out of the printer as shown at “1”. Close the media cover as shown at “2”.
