Lithium-Ion Charging Accessories
Ethernet Cradle
Connect QLn printers to your wired Ethernet
network via the QLn Ethernet Cradle to enable
easy remote management by your IT or operations
staff—helping to ensure each printer is operating
optimally and ready for use. The Ethernet Cradle
can communicate over 10 mbps or 100 mbps
networks using auto-sense.
The single-bay QLn Ethernet Cradle also charges
the battery while it is in the printer, while the 4-bay
version (with optional wall mount kit) charges
four printers at a time. The 4-bay version includes
an internal Ethernet switch and second Ethernet
port, so you can link and manage four 4-bay QLn
Ethernet Cradles (a total of 16 printers) from
one port.
The printer remains fully functional so you can print
while it is in either Cradle. The Cradle’s LED lights
indicate DC power and Ethernet-link status.
Remote printer management over your
Ethernet allows:
• Battery management—Monitor battery health.
Knowing each battery’s lifespan stage simplifies
central management of your spare battery pool.
• Firmware management—Update printer firmware,
eliminating the need for IT staff to travel to the local
user site, or for the printer to be sent back to a central
location for updating.
• Print management—Update templates, fonts, and
graphics in order to print new label formats.
• Device management—Update startup (e.g., config.
sys), WML (front panel), or HTML (browser) files
to enhance or change configuration and status
collection.
• Network management—Update encryption keys
or certificate files to maintain the highest level of
security.
• Problem resolution—Troubleshoot local printer issues
that may otherwise require the printer to be sent in
for repair.
