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.

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

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”).

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  
available on-line at www.zebra.com.  
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.

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.  
Refer to Figures 16 and 16a for a sample configuration print-  
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.)
