Power Requirements

You can run the printer by using its bundled AC adaptor to plug it into a power outlet. It can also run on commercially available alkaline batteries.

Using Batteries

Note

The printer can run on eight AA-size alkaline batteries. Be sure to use alkaline batteries only.

1. Turn over the printer and remove the battery cover.

Never bend or twist the battery cover, or otherwise subject it to rough handling. Doing so creates the risk of printer malfunction.

2. Load a set of eight new batteries.

Make sure the positive gand negative h poles of the batteries are facing in the proper directions.

3.Replace the battery cover.

Important!

The printer may suddenly turn off during printing if battery power goes low. Because of this, use of the bundled AC adaptor is recommended to power the printer.

Because of the affect cold has on batteries, the “LOW BATTERY!” may appear prematurely when the temperature is below 10˚C(50˚F). If this happens, move the printer to a location where the temperature is within the operating temperature range (10˚C to 35˚C (50˚F to 95˚F))
