Press to advance a blank label or a pre- determined length of journal media.

If the printer displays:

“Please Recondition the Battery” and beeps five times, the user should recondition the battery to return it to optimal operation.

To recondition the battery, charge the battery fully overnight and then use the printer until the printer shuts down due to a low battery condition.

Charge the battery again until it is fully charged. At that point the battery will be reconditioned. If the battery is not reconditioned prop- erly the indicated battery charge level will indicate that there is more charge remaining in the battery pack than is actually available. Re- conditioning performed as prompt- ed by the printer will ensure accu- rate capacity indication throughout the serviceable life of the battery pack.
