Turning the Power On

When you slide the power switch towards you and hold it, all LED’s turn on, and if the printer can print, the POWER LED glows steady green. After the POWER LED turns on, release the switch.

Turning the Power Off

When you slide the power switch towards you and hold it, the POWER LED changes from steady green to flashing orange. After this happens, releasing the power switch cuts off the power.

Auto Power Off (setting the power saving time) Function

The printer can automatically cut off the power to conserve the battery pack when inactive for a specified period of time.

The set time can be changed in menu setting mode between four settings: 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and invalid. (It is set at 3 minutes when the printer is shipped from the factory.)

When the power has been cut off by the Auto Power Off function, push the power switch again to restore the power. Be careful because all temporary settings in the printer (downloaded character data, text size, etc.) are reset to the VuePrint menu settings when power is turned on again. This function does not operate when it is powered by the AC adaptor.
