In case shipping is required, save the carton and all packing material. Printer QSG Zebra Technologies Corporation ZEBRA PRODUCT REGISTRATION CARD 475 Half Day Road, Suite 500 Lincolnshire, IL 60069 USA T: +1 847.634.6700 or +1 800.423.
PowerPrecision+ (PP+) Battery The ZQ630 printer uses a 4-cell Li-Ion battery pack with integrated intelligence and data storage capability meeting PowerPrecision+ (PP+) functionality. This intelligent battery has the integrated technology required to collect the detailed realtime battery metrics needed to maximize useful battery life and ensure every battery is healthy and able to hold a full charge.
Printing Technology The ZQ630 printer uses the Direct Thermal method to print human readable text, graphics and barcodes. It incorporates a sophisticated print engine for optimal printing under all operational conditions. Direct thermal printing uses heat to cause a chemical reaction on specially treated media. This reaction creates a dark mark wherever a heated element on the printhead comes in contact with the media. Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at 203 d.p.i.
Made for iPhone (MFi) ZQ630 printer supports communication with Apple devices running iOS 10 or later over a standalone Bluetooth 4.1 radio and the BT4.1 radio included with the 802.11ac (dual) radio. Near Field Communication (NFC) The ZQ630 printer supports a passive NFC tag which complies with the “Android Standard Tag format” since Android devices are the most common found on the market today.
The RFID transponder is sometimes called the RFID tag or an inlay. The transponder is usually made of an antenna that is bonded to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The IC chip contains the RF circuit, coders, decoders, and memory. If you hold an RFID label up to the light, you can see the transponder’s antenna, and you can feel a bump in the label where the IC chip is located.
RFID Calibration RFID calibration sets communication parameters for your tag type. This procedure should be done after the printer has been calibrated for the media (length and gap settings), typically a label length calibration. During the RFID calibration process, the printer moves the media, calibrates the RFID tag position, and determines the optimal settings for the RFID media being used. These settings include the programming position, the read/write power level to use.

The printer will not enter sleep mode when docked in an Ethernet cradle.
Verify the Printer is Working Before you connect the printer to your computer or portable data terminal, make sure that the printer is in proper working order. You can do this by printing a configuration label using the “two key” method. If you can’t get this label to print, refer to “Troubleshooting”. Printing a Configuration Label 1. Turn the printer off. Load the media compartment with journal media (media with no black bars or gaps on the back) 2. Press and hold the Feed Button. 3.
Cable Communication Caution • The printer should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting a communications cable. The ZQ630 printer can communicate by cable; the specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the host terminal and your model printer. RS-232C Communications The 14-pin serial connector on your communications cable plugs into the serial communications port on the side of the printer. ZQ630 printer also have a USB port.
The other end of the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in Figure 18, or to a serial or USB port on a computer. The ZQ630 printer is configured with the USB Open HCI interface driver allowing it to communicate with Windows® based devices. Zebra Designer Driver uses Windows drivers that support printing via Serial, USB and the network. Other terminals or communications devices may require the installation of special drivers to use the USB connection.
Zebra Setup Utilities Before you start to configure your printer for use on a Local Area Network (LAN), you will need some basic information which will enable you to establish the network configuration for your printer. Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) provides a quick and easy way to configure your printers for a variety of purposes, including setting them up for wireless communications either on a Local Area Network (LAN) or using the international Bluetooth™ communications standard.
Wireless Communications with Bluetooth Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. This form of pointto-point communication does not require access points or other infrastructure. Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet).
Bluetooth Security Modes Security Mode 1 If a BT>/= 2.1 device is pairing with a BT/= 2.1, Secure Simple Pairing must be used according to the BT spec. Security Mode 2 If a BT >/= 2.1 device is pairing with a BT /= 2.
