23 iMZ Series User Guide

Connecting the Printer

The printer must establish communications with a host terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in four basic ways:

• Via a cable using the USB 2.0 protocol. Windows drivers are available through Zebra Designer Driver. Zebra Setup

Utilities can be used to configure the printer settings using a USB cable.

• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) using an optional radio per 802.11n specifications.

• By means of a Bluetooth short range radio link.

• WinMobile ® , Blackberry ® , and Android ® devices use standard Bluetooth ® protocol.

• iMZ Series printers are compatible with iOS devices, therefore printing via Bluetooth to an Apple ® device is possible.

Cable Communication

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 11, or the USB port on a computer as shown in Figure

12. The iMZ series utilizes the USB Open HCI interface driver allowing it to communicate with Windows ® based devices.

24 iMZ Series User Guide

USB drivers are included in the Zebra Designer 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.

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 follow the Bluetooth standard.

Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN)

Each Bluetooth enabled iMZ 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 connection. A Bluetooth enabled iMZ series printer will normally act as a slave creating a PAN with the handheld terminal. Up to seven (7) devices can create a PAN with Bluetooth technology, and this PAN is referred to as a “Piconet”.

Bluetooth Connections

Bluetooth connections to the iMZ can be created by using the default user interface for Bluetooth communication that comes in the handheld device (the master device). Normally, this process has several steps including “discover the slave devices nearby”, selecting the printer among those devices and pairing the two devices. The Bluetooth radio in the iMZ complies to BT spec v.2.1, therefore it supports security modes 1,2,3, and 4. By default the printer comes with security mode ”1” (no security). To change the security mode and security settings in the printer use Zebra Setup Utilities.

If the master device trying to connect to the iMZ only supports Bluetooth Specification 2.0 or earlier, the iMZ will connect since the Bluetooth standard is backwards compatible with previous standard versions. If the master device is BT 2.0 or earlier and Authentication is set to “on” from the master side, then the master device will require a PIN from the printer.

26 iMZ Series User Guide

By default the PIN is not set in the printer. To a set your own

PIN in the printer connect the printer with a cable to a PC or

Laptop and use a Set-up Utility to set a PIN of your choice in the printer which can be up to 16 characters.

The discovery and pairing routine can be bypassed in custom applications. Software developers may use Zebra’s

Multiplatform SDK to aid them in coding the connection to the printer.

Bluetooth pairing requiring Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) protection

Some devices may require an authenticated Bluetooth connection between themselves and the iMZ printer. By requiring authentication, you can guarantee that the link occurs between only the two devices involved, and that no third device

(the Man-In-The-Middle) can view the data being passed between them. MITM protection is possible in Bluetooth security mode 3 or above.

To authenticate the link, the two devices must demonstrate that they have each seen the same six digit number during the pairing process. On the iMZ, the only means of displaying a six digit number during pairing is to print the value. Therefore, there is a new SGD provided allowing a set of options:

! U1 setvar “bluetooth.allow _ no _ display _ numeric _ comparison”

The three options are:

1. “off”: Bluetooth pairing uses “Just Works”, with no MITM protection.

2. “print” (default): The user will compare the six digit value printed by the printer with the value displayed on the pairing device. If the values match, the user will accept on the pairing device and pairing will succeed with MITM protection. If the values do not match, the user will reject on the pairing device.

Note: Android devices require MITM protection therefore Android devices will negotiate the connection to Bluetooth security mode 3.

27 iMZ Series User Guide

3. “no print”: The user will accept or reject the value displayed on the pairing device. If accepted, the pairing will succeed. There is a security risk that this connection could be monitored by another device which interfered during the pairing process.

In addition, the iMZ Series supports Near Field

Communication (NFC) technology. With the new “Print Touch” feature, end-users can automatically connect via Bluetooth from a handheld device that supports NFC technology. Simply touching the NFC handheld device to the “Print Touch” icon on the printer will connect and pair the handheld device to the printer. Bluetooth pairing via NFC is supported by the

Multiplatform SDK.

Figure 13: NFC Connectivity iMZ320 http://www.zebra.com/nfc

Connecting to Apple Devices

The iMZ Series has the required technology to directly connect via Bluetooth to an Apple device.

If the device has iOS 5, the user must tap the Settings icon in the Apple device and then select Bluetooth. The discovery routine will happen automatically from this screen. Once the printer is discovered, select the printer to finish the pairing process. Once the iMZ printer is paired, the user will be able to use the printer in any application that supports the iMZ printer.

A demo application is available in the Apple store.

28 iMZ Series User Guide

In iOS 6 pairing the printer within the application that supports printing to a Zebra iMZ device is now possible. The user of an iOS 6 device does not need to pair the printer via

Bluetooth outside the application.

WLAN Overview

iMZ Series printers can be equipped with a radio using the industry standard 802.11 protocols. They will have the FCC ID number on the serial number label on the back of the unit.

• iMZ Series Wireless Network Printers with the Zebra

802.11 WLAN radio module can be identified by the text

“Wireless Network Printer” on the serial number label on the back of the printer.

• These printers allow communication as a node within a wireless local area network (WLAN). Methods of establishing communications to the printer will vary with each application.

General information on establishing WLAN communications can be found in the ”CPCL Programming Manual” which is available on-line. More information and LAN configuration utilities are included in Zebra’s Net Bridge™ program (version

2.8 and later). Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) can also be used to configure WLAN communications settings. Both Net Bridge and ZSU may be downloaded from the Zebra Web site.

Setting Up the Software

iMZ Series printers use Zebra’s CPCL and ZPL Programming languages which were designed for mobile printing applications. CPCL and ZPL are fully described in the ”CPCL

Programming Manual” and the “ZPL Programming Guide” available on-line at www.zebra.com/manuals.

You can also use Designer Pro, Zebra’s Windows ® based label creation program which uses a graphical interface to create and edit labels in either language.

Refer to Appendix E for tips on downloading the Designer

Pro 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 temperatures 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 iMZ 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 optimum media for your application.

• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, consider using a pre-printed label.

• Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for your media.

NOTE: Use of label media in an iMZ 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 possible.

• Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its ability to maintain a charge over time. It can only be recharged a finite number of times before it must be replaced. 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 printing at that time and allow the battery to re-charge completely.

Refer to Figures 18 and 18a for a sample configuration printout.

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 representation (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.)

To terminate the Communications Diagnostics Mode and re-
