Charging the Battery

NOTE: Batteries are shipped from the factory uncharged. Brother recommends that a complete charging cycle (following steps 1 through 3 below) be completed before using the battery for the first time.

1.Make sure the printer is connected to an AC power outlet with the AC adapter and power cord or a DC power cord.

2.Make sure the printer is off.

3.Press the main switch and hold it down for a few seconds until the POWER indicator light begins to blink. This puts the printer in Charge Mode and starts the charging of the battery.

The POWER indicator light blinks until charging is complete.

The maximum time to charge to 100% capacity is approximately 120 minutes. A new battery at 100% charge will yield approximately 70 pages of printing.

When the printer finishes charging the battery, it automatically turns itself off, and the POWER indicator light goes off.

Note that when the printer is connected to an external source of power, it will constantly draw approximately 20 mA to trickle charge the battery.

Stopping the Charge Process

If you want to stop the printer while it is in Charge mode, press the main switch twice quickly.
