					Charging the battery   
					Refer to Figure 4.   
					1. Plug the Charger Power Supply into the appropriate A.C.   
					wall receptacle. Then insert the charge cable into the   
					printer’s charger jack.   
					2. The printer’s charger indicator will indicate the status of   
					the charger as follows:   
					• An amber light indicates the battery is charging, and that   
					the battery is less than 90% charged.   
					• A green light indicates the battery is fully charged. The   
					battery is ready for use.   
					Approximate Charge Times :

				charging process. Refer to the Controls section of this manual   
					for more information.   
					Battery Safety   
					Caution • Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing   
					battery terminals to contact conductive material will create a short   
					circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start a   
					fire.   
					Important • Always dispose of used batteries properly. Refer to   
					Appendix D for more battery recycling information.   
					Caution • 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.   
					Read carefully and always observe the safety guidelines for Li-Ion   
					batteries provided with each Battery Pack.   
					Charger Safety   
					Do not place the Power Station in locations where liquids or metallic   
					objects may be dropped into the charging bays.   
					Use care when installing either the Charger Power Supply shipped   
					with the printer or the power supply supplied with the MZ series   
					Power Station. Do not block the ventilating slots on the top and   
					bottom covers of either power supply.   
					Ensure that the Charger Power Supply is plugged into a power   
					source which will not accidently be turned off if you will be charging   
					batteries overnight.

				Using Pre-Printed Receipt Media   
					MZ series printers built after 6/16/2008 support alignment of   
					pre-printed receipts by using a sensor in the printhead. (Refer   
					to “Determining Your Printer’s Version” in the Troubleshooting   
					section of this manual for more information) Please be aware   
					of the following factors:   
					1) Note the black bar location and dimensions as detailed   
					in the Specifications section of this manual.   
					2) Complete information on using pre-printed media   
					can be found in the FORM command topic in the CPCL   
					Programming Manual. The CPCL manual is available

				Operator Controls   
					MZ series printer controls are detailed below and in Figure 9.   
					The printer has two control buttons and four multipurpose   
					indicators.   
					The Power Button turns the printer on and off.   
					The Feed Button advances a length of media until it is re-   
					leased.   
					The Green/Amber indicator to the left of the Power Button   
					indicates the status of the printer’s built-in charger:   
					• The indicator is off indicates the battery is not being   
					charged.   
					• If the indicator is amber the battery is being charged.   
					• If the indicator is green, the battery is fully charged.   
					The Green Indicator between the Power and Feed buttons   
					has two states:   
					• A rapidly blinking light indicates a low battery condition.   
					• A steadily lit indicator means that power is on and the   
					battery charge level is sufficient for use   
					The Amber Indicator to the right of the Feed button is an er-   
					ror indicator.   
					• An un-lit indicator means there is no error condition and   
					the printer can be used.   
					• A blinking indicator could mean one of two conditions ex-   
					ist, which will inhibit printer operation:   
					1. There is no media loaded.   
					2. The media cover is open.   
					3. If both the above conditions are met and the error   
					light is still flashing, there could be no application load-   
					ed in the printer, or the application could have become   
					corrupted.   
					The Blue Indicator just above the product I.D. label is a com-   
					munications indicator. Its functions vary depending on the   
					wireless communications option installed in the printer.   
					• If the printer uses only standard IrDA® wireless commu-   
					nication:   
					A blinking light indicates data is being received from a   
					linked IrDA device.   
					• If the printer has a Bluetooth™ radio option:   
					1. A steady light indicates the printer has paired with an-   
					19   
					MZ Series User Guide   
					Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   
				other Bluetooth device.   
					2. A blinking light indicates that the printer is receiving   
					data via Bluetooth communications.   
					• If the printer has an 802.11b/g radio installed:   
					1. A steady light indicates the printer has associated with   
					a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).   
					2. A blinking light indicates that the printer is attempting   
					to associate with a WLAN.

				Verify the Printer Is Working   
					Before you connect the printer to your computer, portable   
					data terminal or wireless LAN, make sure that the printer is in   
					proper working order. You can do this by printing a configu-   
					ration label using the “two key reset” 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 printed on the   
					back)   
					2. Press and hold the Feed Button.   
					3. Press and release the Power button and keep the Feed   
					button pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed   
					button.   
					The unit will print a line of interlocking “x” characters to   
					ensure all elements of the print head are working, print out the   
					version of software loaded in the printer and then print two re-   
					ports.   
					The first report indicates model, ROM version, serial num-   
					ber, etc. The second report prints out more detailed informa-   
					tion on the printer’s configuration and parameter settings. If   
					no second report appears, there is no application loaded. (See   
					the Troubleshooting Section for sample printouts and a fur-   
					ther discussion on how to use the configuration label as a di-   
					agnostic tool.)   
					Connecting the Printer   
					The printer must establish communications with a host ter-   
					minal which sends the data to be printed. Communications   
					occur in four basic ways:   
					• Via a cable using the USB 2.0 protocol. USB drivers are   
					included in the Zebra Universal Driver which can be   
					downloaded from www.zebra.com.   
					• Via the industry standard IrDA protocol. IR capability is   
					standard with MZ series printers.   
					• By means of an optional Bluetooth short range radio link.   
					• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) using   
					an optional radio per 802.11b/g specifications.

				Cable Communication   
					Caution • The printer should be turned off before connecting or   
					disconnecting the communications cable.   
					The small connector on the USB cable plugs into the printer.   
					The connectors are keyed to assure correct alignment; do not   
					try to force the cable if it does not plug in. The other end of   
					the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in   
					Figure 10, or the USB port on a computer as shown in Figure   
					11. The MZ series utilizes the USB Open HCI interface driver   
					allowing it to communicate with Windows® based devices.   
					USB drivers are included in the Zebra Universal Driver which   
					can be downloaded from the Zebra Web site. Other terminals   
					or communications devices may require the installation of   
					special drivers to use the USB connection. Consult the factory   
					for further details.

				IR Communications   
					Ensure that the terminal sending and receiving data is within   
					the shaded zone depicted in Figure 12. The IR window on the   
					front of the printer must face the corresponding window on   
					the terminal to properly send and receive signals. The maxi-   
					mum distance IrDA signals can be transmitted reliably is 1M   
					(39”).

				Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™   
					Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data   
					between two devices via radio frequencies. 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).   
					Both the printer and the device it communicates with must fol-   
					low the Bluetooth standard. Only one of the radio options can   
					be installed in the printer at one time and the antenna used for   
					these transmitters must not be co-located or must not operate   
					in conjunction with any other antenna.   
					Bluetooth Networking Overview   
					Each Bluetooth enabled MZ series printer is identified by   
					a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into the   
					printer when manufactured. 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) must request a connection with another. The   
					second device (the slave) then accepts or rejects the connec-   
					tion. A Bluetooth enabled MZ series printer will normally   
					act as a slave creating a miniature network with the terminal   
					sometimes referred to as a “piconet.”.   
					For the most part, communications using the Bluetooth pro-   
					tocol are initiated and processed without any operator inter-   
					vention.

				WLAN Overview   
					All MZ series printers can be equipped with radios using the   
					industry standard 802.11b/g protocol. MZ series printers will   
					have the FCC I.D. number of the radio on the serial number la-   
					bel on the back of the unit.   
					MZ series printers with the Zebra 802.11b/g WLAN radio op-   
					tion can be identified by the FCC ID: I28MD-CXLAN11G on the   
					serial number label on the back of the printer.   
					Methods of establishing communications to MZ series   
					printers will vary with each LAN application. General in-   
					formation on establishing WLAN communications can be   
					found in either the ”CPCL Programmers Manual” or the   
					“Zebra Mobile Printer Wireless Configuration Guide” both   
					
					More information and LAN configuration utilities are includ-   
					ed in Zebra’s Label Vista™ program (version 2.8 and later).   
					Label Vista may be downloaded from the Zebra Web site.   
					Setting Up the Software   
					MZ series printers use Zebra’s CPCL Programming language   
					which was designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL is   
					fully described in the ”CPCL Programmers Manual”, available   
					on-line from the Zebra Web site.   
					You can also use Label Vista™, Zebra’s Windows® based la-   
					bel creation program which uses a graphical interface to cre-   
					ate and edit labels in the CPCL language.   
					Refer to Appendix F for tips on downloading the Label Vista   
					application from Zebra’s Web site.

				Wearing the Printer   
					Belt Clip   
					Refer to Figure 13. All MZ series printers are have a belt clip   
					installed as a standard feature. To use: hook the clip over   
					your belt, and ensure that the clip is securely attached to the   
					belt. The belt clip will pivot slightly to allow you to move free-   
					ly while wearing the printer.

				Preventive Maintenance   
					Extending Battery Life   
					• Always observe the safety precautions in the Lithium-   
					Ion Battery Technical Bulletin included with each Battery   
					Pack.   
					• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or tempera-   
					tures over 104° F (40° C).   
					• Do not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds   
					113° F (45° C).   
					• Always use a Zebra power supply designed specifically   
					for the MZ series printers. Use of any other kind of power   
					supply may damage the battery.   
					• Use the correct media for your printing requirements. An   
					authorized Zebra re-seller can help you determine the op-   
					timum media for your application.   
					• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, con-   
					sider using a pre-printed label.   
					• Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for   
					your media.   
					NOTE: Use of label media in an MZ series printer requires a “Tone”   
					setting of 50 for best results. The Tone setting can be modified by   
					connecting the printer to a PC and using the Label Vista application.   
					Refer to the Cable Communications section of “Connecting the   
					Printer” in this manual.   
					• Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possi-   
					ble.   
					• Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its   
					ability to maintain a charge over time. It can only be re-   
					charged a finite number of times before it must be re-   
					placed. Always dispose of batteries properly. Refer to   
					Appendix D for more information on battery disposal.   
					• If you print while charging the battery, charge times will   
					be prolonged. Extensive printing while charging could   
					deplete the battery enough to cause the low battery   
					warning indicator to turn on. You should suspend print-   
					ing at that time and allow the battery to re-charge com-   
					pletely.

				Troubleshooting Tests   
					Printing a Configuration Label   
					To print out a listing of the printer’s current configuration fol-   
					low these steps:   
					1. Turn the printer off. Load the media compartment with   
					journal media (media with no black bars printed on the   
					back)   
					2. Press and hold the Feed Button.   
					3. Press and release the Power button and keep the Feed   
					button pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed   
					button.

					out.   
					Communications Diagnostics   
					If there is a problem transferring data between the computer   
					and the printer, try putting the printer in the Communications   
					Diagnostics Mode (also referred to as the “DUMP” mode). The   
					printer will print the ASCII characters and their text represen-   
					tation (or the period ‘.’, if not a printable character) for any data   
					received from the host computer   
					To enter Communications Diagnostics Mode:   
					1. Print a configuration label as described above.   
					2. At the end of 2nd diagnostics report, the printer will print:   
					“Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode”.   
					3. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering   
					DUMP mode”.   
					Note • If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer   
					will print “DUMP mode not entered” and will resume normal   
					operation.   
					4. At this point, the printer is in DUMP mode and will print   
					the ASCII hex codes of any data sent to it, and their text   
					representation (or “.” if not a printable character).   
					Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the   
					ASCII information will be created and stored in the printer’s   
					memory. It can be viewed, “cloned” or deleted using the Label   
					Vista application. (Refer the Label Vista documentation for   
					more information.)
