Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect the printer for possible shipping damage:
• Check all exterior surfaces for damage.
• Open the media cover (refer to “Loading the Media” in the Printer Preparation section) and inspect the media compart­ment for damage.
In case return shipping is required, save the carton and all pack-
ing material.
Reporting Damage
If you discover shipping damage:
• Immediately notify and file a damage report with the shipping company. Zebra Technologies Corporation is not responsible for any damage incurred during shipment of the printer and will not cover the repair of this damage under its warranty policy.
• Keep the carton and all packing material for inspection.
• Notify your authorized Zebra re-seller.

P4T Overview-
Printer Preparation
The P4T Series introduces several new technologies to the Zebra
Mobile Printer product line.
Smart Battery
The P4T Series battery pack contains electronics which allow the printer to monitor its operating parameters. Among these are the battery’s charge state, the number of charge cycles it has under­gone, and its date of manufacture. Using these parameters, the P4T Series’ software can monitor the battery’s condition and alert the user when to recharge, re-condition or remove the battery from service.
Use of any battery pack other than the one manufactured by
Zebra specifically for use with P4T Series printers will not
be able to use the diagnostic features of the Zebra Smart
Troubleshooting pg.
Printing Technology
The P4T Series uses two methods to print human readible text, graphics and barcodes: Direct Thermal, and Thermal Transfer
Direct Thermal
Battery and will not work with the printer.
For ease of installation, P4T Series thermal transfer film is supplied as a cartridge. Typically a thermal transfer film cartridge will be able to print two rolls of media before needing replacement. This ratio may vary considerably based on the amount of label stock per roll.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identi cation)
A P4T Series printer equipped with an RFID encoder allows it to encode information on special label media using radio frequen­cies in addition to using conventional thermal transfer technology.
These printers are identified as RP4T printers.
RFID encoded information can be retrieved using an RFID scanner from a distance of inches to several yards from an encoded label.
Zebra’s implementation of RFID follows accepted industry stan­dards. As an example, the RP4T verifies the information encoded on the label media after it is transmitted and voids the label if the data is incorrect. More information concerning RFID may be found in Zebra’s
Zebra’s Web site.
RFID Programming Manual, available for download on
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
Connecting the
Radio Regulatory
Speci cations pg.
203 d.p.i. (dots per inch) or 8 dots per mm, 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 loose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures.
Thermal Transfer
Thermal transfer printing uses the same basic technology as direct thermal, except that the printhead elements react with a transfer film which passes between the printhead and the media. The print­ing process fuses the thermal transfer material to the media being printed and creates characters and graphic images that are very dark, and more permanent than those created by direct thermal printing. Offsetting this advantage is the extra cost of the thermal transfer film and printing speeds slower than those required for direct thermal printing.

Battery Safety
Troubleshooting pg.
The Battery Packs used on Zebra Mobile Printers contain a great deal of energy and can cause personal injury or start a fire if used
improperly or carelessly. Please observe the following safety practices:
Caution • Avoid accidental short circuiting of any batter y. Allowing battery terminals to contact conduc tive material will
create a short circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start a  re.
Caution • Batteries can explode or catch fire if improperly charged or exposed to high temperatures or fire. Do not disassemble,
crush or expose batteries to water.
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 a charger in locations where liquids or metallic objects may be dropped on the charger or, in the case of the
UCLI72-4 Quad Charger, into the charging bays.
Use care in locating any of the approved P4T Series single chargers, the AC Adapter or the UCLI72-4 Quad Charger. Do not
block the ventilating slots on the top and bottom covers. Ensure that the Charger is plugged into a power source which won’t accidently be turned o if you will be charging batteries overnight.

Note: It is the installer's responsibility to insure correct wiring and installation.
Note: Zebra is not liable for damage to any equipment caused by improper installation or wiring of the adapter, or
damage resulting from use of the wrong adapter for the intended application.
Note: Do not lengthen the adapter's power cable or remove the cable's ferrite if equipped. Extending the cable or removing
