Printer Operation with Cradle

This section describes how the printer functions while placed within the cradle.
  • The ZQ630 Plus printer charges when placed in its cradle.
  • Docking the printer in the cradle automatically turns it on, ensuring it can be managed remotely.
  • When the printer detects input power from the cradle and the presence of a live ethernet link, it automatically connects to the ethernet network.
  • The Wi-Fi turns off when the ethernet link is active. It turns back on when the ethernet link is no longer active.
  • The interface remains active for printers with a Bluetooth radio while the printer is in the cradle.
  • The serial and USB ports remain active while the printer is in its cradle.
  • The DC input barrel jack connector cannot be used while the printer is in the cradle. The DC barrel jack should be plugged directly into the cradle instead.
The printer provides overvoltage protection, so no damage occurs when voltages from 0–36V are applied at the DC Power jack. If the voltage is greater than 36V, the DC line fuse permanently opens reducing a fire hazard. The battery only charges when 12VDC is applied using the Zebra AC adapter.
