MAINTENANCE
Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service
provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The
printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks
or more often, depending on usage and the type of media
being employed. Components of the printer that require
periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller
(platen), and the media sensor. When cleaning, please
use only isopropyl alcohol, the same type included in the
Cleaning Kit. Always use Zebra label or ticket stock for
maximum print quality and extended printer life.
Never use any sharp objects on printer mechanism as it could
damage the print head and platen. Use only the supplied
cleaning pen or a cotton swab saturated with alcohol for
cleaning. Always turn the printer off prior to any cleaning
operation.
Cleaning the print head
• Always turn the printer off prior to any cleaning
operation.
• Open the printer by squeezing the finger grips on
either side of the media compartment cover.
• Swing the media compartment cover open.
• Use the cleaning pen supplied with the printer and/
or alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the surface of
the print head, the platen, and the sensor.
Cleaning the platen (print roller)
Applies to printers configured for linered media only
• Open the printer by squeezing the finger grips on
either side of the media compartment cover and
swinging it open.
• Gently clean the platen with the cleaning pen
supplied with the printer and/or alcohol and a
cotton swab while rotating the platen.

Cleaning the Media Sensor
The Media sensor is located inside the media compart-
ment under the print head. Blow out any dust deposits
carefully, then finish cleaning with the cleaning pen sup-
plied with the printer and/or alcohol and cotton swabs.
Linerless Media Printers
Printers using linerless media require more frequent
cleaning. Linerless media deposits adhesive which must
be removed for optimum performance. Linerless printers
can be identified by a platen which is not black, or by
reading the unit’s fifteen digit Product Configuration
Code (PCC) label on the back of the printer. PCC digit
“8” will be “B”, “”D”, “F”, or “H” for linerless printers.
Note: It is not necessary to clean the platen on linerless units.
The platen material is self cleaning and will not require constant
maintenance.
When cleaning, use only the Cleaning Pen provided with each
printer or isopropyl alcohol.
•Open the printer by squeezing the finger grips on
either side of the media compartment cover.
•Surfaces inside the media compartment that come
in contact with the linerless media adhesive should
be cleaned, along with:
• Print mechanism area around the Sensor
•Printhead
•Inside surface of the edge guide
Allow printer to dry before resuming printing.

Perform the self test as described in the Controls sec-
tion. The unit should print a line of interlocking “x” char-
acters to insure all elements of the print head are work-
ing, print out the version of software loaded in the printer
and then print two reports. The first report indicates
model, ROM version, serial number, baud rate, etc. The
second report contains application information. If no
second report appears, there is no application loaded.

logo on the lower left corner of the keypad.
• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network)
(Cameo 3 Network Printers only) Cameo 3 Net-
work printers are identified by a “Cameo 3N” logo,
and an extension to the bottom cover.
Cable Communications
All Cameo printers can communicate by cable; the
specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the
host terminal. The 8- pin circular connector on your
communications cable plugs into the serial communica-
tions port on the side of the Cameo printer. (Refer to the
Specifications Section of this manual for communications
port pin assignments.)
The connector is keyed to assure correct alignment; do
not try to force it if it does not plug in. The other end of
the cable must be plugged into the host terminal. Com-
munications between the terminal and the printer is
controlled by the applications running on the terminal and
the printer.

O-16
IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are
identified by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s keypad. IR
allows wireless communications between the printer and
the host terminal. IR units can also communicate with a
cable as detailed above, however, IR functions are dis-
abled when the cable is plugged in. Cameo units with the
IR option can be configured to conform to the standard
IrDA communications protocol
Linking a Printer to an IrDA Host
IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate
communications to the printer. First insure that there is a
direct line of sight between the printer and the terminal
that will be sending data. The IR window on the front of
the Cameo must face the corresponding window on the
terminal to properly send and receive signals. An IrDA
compliant terminal will seek out any linkable devices and
establish communications between them, even turning
the printer on if necessary.

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™ using
ZBR Radio
The following section only applies when the Bluetooth ZBR Module (FCC ID: I28MD-
BTC2-E) is installed in the Cameo printer (note that only one of the radio options can
be installed in the printer at one time).
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of
data between two devices via radio frequencies.
Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help pre-
vent interference with other devices running at similar
radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth
device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).
Both the printer and the device it communicates with
must follow the Bluetooth standard.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this internal Bluetooth radio is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless,
this Bluetooth radio must be used in such a manner that the
antenna is 2.5 cm or further from the human body.
The radio and antenna are mounted internally in this printer such
that when the printer is worn with the back of the printer against
the body and the front of the printer (where paper exits) away
from the body, then the 2.5 cm distance between the antenna
and the users body will be met. Do not use the printer in an
unauthorized manner.
The internal Bluetooth radio operates within guidelines found in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The
level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic
energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile
phones.

Bluetooth™ Networking Overview
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled
devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth software
is always running in the background, ready to respond to
connection requests. One device (known as the master
or the client) must request a connection with another.
The second device (the slave or the server) then accepts
or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled QL 320
will normally act as a slave, but in theory any Bluetooth
device can be either a master or a slave. This miniature
network is sometimes referred to as a “piconet” and can
consist of several Bluetooth enabled devices.
Each Bluetooth enabled Cameo printer has a unique
Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its radio
module when manufactured. For the most part, commu-
nications using the Bluetooth protocol are initiated and
processed without any operator intervention, much like
the IrDA system described previously.

(WLAN) communications are known as Cameo 3N Net-
work Printers. Cameo 3N printers allow wireless commu-
nication as a node within a local area network, and its
wireless capabilities allow communications from any
point within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of establishing
communications to the Cameo 3N will vary with each
