Battery Indicators and Controls

The optional printer battery accessory has a simple, one-button, four LED indicator light user interface to control and display battery status and health. The battery acts as a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for the printer. For more information on using the battery with the printer and power-saving modes (such as sleep or shutdown), see Printing with the Attached Battery Base and Battery Option.
