ZQ630 Technology

The ZQ630 printer use several technologies made popular in other Zebra Mobile Printer product lines, as well as newer, state-of-the- art technologies.

ZQ630 User Guide

PowerPrecision+ (PP+) Battery

The ZQ630 printer uses a 4-cell Li-Ion battery pack with integrated intelligence and data storage capability meeting PowerPrecision+ (PP+) functionality. This intelligent battery has the integrated technology required to collect the detailed realtime battery metrics needed to maximize useful battery life and ensure every battery is healthy and able to hold a full charge. In addition, technology inside the batteries tracks and maintains the metrics required to provide real-time visibility into more meaningful battery statistics, such

as total cycle usage of the battery, whether the battery is old and should be retired or how long a battery will take to fully charge.

Operating Temperature		Charging Temperature	Storage Temperature
	-20˚C to +50˚C	0˚C to +40˚C	-25˚C to +65˚C
	(-4˚F to 122˚F)	(32˚F to 104˚F)	(-13˚F to 149˚F)

The ZQ630 printer will only function properly with genuine Zebra smart battery packs.

The smart battery’s health has three states: GOOD, REPLACE, and POOR. The battery health factor determines whether or not the printer can operate and what is communicated to the user via the display.

# of Charge Cycles	Health	Power-up Message
<300	GOOD	None
≥300 but <550	REPLACE	“Battery Diminished
		Consider Replacing” *
≥550 but <600	REPLACE	“Warning-Battery Is Past
		Useful Life” *
≥600	POOR	“Replace Battery Shutting
		Down” **

* Warning accompanied by one long beep.

** Warning will flash on and off accompanied by beeping at a rate of once per second. After 30 seconds the printer will shut down.

Note • Power down the printer before removing the battery to minimize the risk of corruption.

ZQ630 User Guide

Printing Technology

The ZQ630 printer uses the Direct Thermal method to print human readable text, graphics and barcodes. It incorporates a sophisticated print engine for optimal printing under all operational conditions. Direct thermal printing uses heat to cause a chemical reaction on specially treated media. This reaction creates a dark mark wherever a heated element on the printhead comes in contact with the media. Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at 203 d.p.i. (dots per inch) horizontal and 200 d.p.i. vertical, highly legible characters and graphic elements may

be created a row at a time as the media is advanced past the printhead. This technology has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable supplies such as ink or toner. However, since the media is sensitive to heat, it will gradually

lose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures or in direct sunlight.

QR Code

The QR barcode includes human readable text URL, for example www.zebra.com/zq630-info, which links the user to printer information and short videos on topics such as buying supplies, features overview, loading media, printing a configuration report, cleaning instructions, and accessory information.

Made for iPhone (MFi)

ZQ630 printer supports communication with Apple devices running iOS 10 or later over a standalone Bluetooth 4.1 radio and the BT4.1 radio included with the 802.11ac (dual) radio.

Near Field Communication (NFC)

The ZQ630 printer supports a passive NFC tag which complies with the “Android Standard Tag format” since Android devices are the most common found on the market today. The NFC tag is programmed from the factory and supports Bluetooth pairing to enable a tablet, smartphone or terminal to automatically pair with the printer via a Bluetooth connection (within the bounds of the security profile being used).

The NFC tag also supports app launching whereby an app developed either by Zebra or a third party will launch on a NFCenabled smartphone, tablet or terminal. Similarly, the NFC tag enables launching to a web support page via a tablet, smartphone or terminal.

Color LCD Display

The ZQ630 printer features a color, non-touch LCD display which supports a 288x240 pixel viewable area. The user will be able

to view the display in both room light and night time conditions. The display is capable of displaying colored text as well as color images. In order to save power, the display will dim after a configurable timeout.

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)

The ZQ630 printer is equipped with an RFID encoder/reader, which is integrated into the printer’s printhead assembly. The ZQ630 encodes (writes) information on ultra-thin UHF RFID transponders that are embedded in “smart” labels, tickets, and tags. The printer encodes the information; verifies proper encoding; and prints bar codes, graphics, and/or text on the label’s surface. The ZQ630 printer uses Zebra’s extensive set of RFID commands running under ZPL programming language.

ZQ630 User Guide

The RFID transponder is sometimes called the RFID tag or an inlay. The transponder is usually made of an antenna that is bonded to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The IC chip contains the RF circuit, coders, decoders, and memory. If you hold an RFID label up to the light, you can see the transponder’s antenna, and you can feel a bump in the label where the IC chip is located. The ZQ630 can encode and verify EPC (Electronic Product Code) Generation 2 Class 1 UHF passive RFID tags, in addition to printing human readable text and conventional 1 and 2-D barcode information on Zebra supplied RFID thermal transfer media. EPC is a product numbering standard that can be used to identify a variety of items by using RFID technology. EPC Generation

2 tags offer advantages over other tag types. The tag identification

(TID) memory in a Generation 2 tag includes the chip manufacturer and model number information, which can be used to identify which optional features are present on the tag. These optional features include those for data content and security.

Gen 2 tags typically have a 96-bit EPC identifier, which is different from the 64-bit identifiers common in early EPC tags. The 96-bit EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing productspecific information along the supply chain. Gen 2 tags also support much larger data structures. The size of user memory available (if any) varies by the model and manufacturer of the tag.

Encoding and printing of an RFID label usually are completed on the first try, but some failures may occur. If you experience consistent encoding failures, it may signal a problem with the RFID tags, your label formats, or with the transponder placement. If an RFID tag cannot be encoded, “VOID” will be printed on the label. The printer then attempts to read/encode “n” labels before the next format is attempted, where

“n” is specified by the ZPL programming language “^RS” command.

Acceptable values of “n” are 1 to 10 and the default is 3. After printing the defined number of voided RFID labels, the printer default is No

Action (Label format causing the error is dropped).

While the user doesn’t have control of where on the label the VOID is printed, they can control the length of the image. The start of the VOID image is always at the program position (or F0 if a backward program position). More information on the “^RS” command may be found in the

RFID Programming Guide 3 available on zebra.com.

Please refer to Appendix D for details on RFID menu options.

Note • RFID is an optional feature on the ZQ630 and is a factoryinstalled option only.

ZQ630 User Guide

RFID Calibration

RFID calibration sets communication parameters for your tag type. This procedure should be done after the printer has been calibrated for the media (length and gap settings), typically a label length calibration. During the RFID calibration process, the printer moves the media, calibrates the RFID tag position, and determines the optimal settings for the RFID media being used.

These settings include the programming position, the read/write power level to use. To restore the printer’s default programming position

at any time, use the “restore” option in the rfid.tag.calibrate SGD command.

Do not remove any labels or tag from the liner (label backing or ‘web’). This allows the printer to determine RFID settings which do not encode adjacent tags.

Always do a Label Length Calibration and RFID Calibration when you change media type. It should not be necessary when simply replacing an empty roll of the same media.

Before beginning, load RFID media into the printer and perform the label length calibration.

1.Press the Feed button once to advance one label.

2.Press the Home button . Navigate to the RFID menu button and press the ‘OK’ button on the keypad.

3.Use the ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ arrows on the keypad to browse to

the ‘RFID CALIBRATE’ procedure. Press the ‘OK’ button on the keypad.

4.The printer will slowly feed a label while adjusting the location and RFID read/write communication settings for your chosen RFID tag/ label. The printer will feed an additional label in some cases when calibration has completed successfully with the display message reading: READY.

5.Remove the excess media. Media calibration has finished and you are ready to print.
