QLn Series User Guide
Programmable LCD Settings
In addition to the status icons, the LCD control panel can dis-
play other printer settings and functions as text.  Applications 
can be written to allow the user to view and /or modify these 
settings using the scroll and select keys on the display.  The 
menu that comes with the printer provides access to the most 
commonly used parameters. Refer to the CPCL Programming 
Manual for a complete list of the parameters, and for details 
on how to change the front panel display (p/n P1036975-001 at 
www.zebra.com/manuals).
The LCD backlighting option allows viewing of the screen 
in a dark environment, or provides better contrast in a very 
bright environment. The QLn320 and QLn220 can be pro-
grammed to enter a low power mode (Backlight Off) during 
periods of front panel inactivity. While in low power mode, the 
screen is populated with menus and status icons, data which 
may or may not be readable depending on ambient light con-
ditions. The QLn Series printers provide a configurable time 
delay from the time the backlight is turned on to when it turns 
off. The time range for this delay is 5 to 1200 seconds with 
a default time of 10 seconds. The backlight can be activated 
within one second after any of the cursor, select, or soft keys 
is pressed. (The feed button does not activate the backlight.) 
The status bar icons, the user space content, and the navi-
gation bar will remain on the screen with the backlight off. 
Extensive use of the display backlight will decrease the time 
the printer can run between charges.  Refer to the section 
“Extending Battery Life” for more information.
