Thank you for choosing one of our Zebra P4T Series Mobile Printers. The P4T Series consists of two models. The P4T can print
on direct thermal or thermal transfer media. The RP4T can print
on direct or thermal transfer media and also encode special RFID
media.
Because these printers are made by Zebra Technologies, you’re
assured of world-class support for all of your bar code printers,
software, and supplies.
• This User’s Guide gives you the information you’ll need to
operate and maintain both the P4T and RP4T models.
• P4T Series printers use the CPCL programming language. To
create and print receipts and labels using the CPCL language,

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.

The P4T Series introduces several new technologies to the Zebra
35
Maintenance pg. 36
38
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

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.

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
38
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.

• Use a snap-in bushing if the input power passes through the firewall or other sheet metal.
• Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other equipment or vehicle controls.
• Make sure that cable routing does not expose the cable to potential physical damage.
• Secure the input power at least every 12 inches (30 cm) throughout the cable run.
