Printing with the Attached Battery Base and Battery Option

Printer operating procedures change slightly when using the battery.
The battery is designed to maximize battery life, maintain print quality, and have a simple operation. Power connections and power loss scenarios necessitate the differences in operation.
  • Connecting the printer’s external power supply to the battery will wake up the battery. The battery determines if charging is needed.
  • The battery will not start charging until the battery’s charge level is below 90% charge. This extends your battery’s life.
  • Once charging has begun, the battery will charge to 100% capacity and then go into Sleep Mode.
  • The printer is receiving the external power passed through by the battery circuitry into the printer. The battery does not charge while printing or moving media.
  • The battery uses a very small amount of power during Sleep Mode to maximize the available charge stored in the battery.
  • It takes about 2 hours to charge a fully discharged battery.

The printer is receiving the external power passed through by the battery circuitry into the printer.
  1. Press the
    Battery Control
     button to activate the battery and check the battery's charge level. After 60 seconds the battery goes to sleep.

The printer can be turned OFF and ON normally and does not require the battery to be ON to operate.

Battery Mode

The printer is powered by a battery only.
  1. Press the
    Battery Control
     button to activate the battery and check the battery's charge level. After 60 seconds the battery goes to sleep if the printer has not been turned on yet.
  2. Turn the printer ON.
  3. Use the printer normally.
  4. Check the battery charge status at any time by pressing the
    Battery Control
     button.
  5. Change or charge your battery when the last battery charge level indicator is flashing. Your print operation may be interrupted if the battery charge is used up and the printer turns off.
