Unpacking the Printer

The printer comes packaged with two rolls of supply (one
already loaded in the printer), a battery (included with
select printers), a belt clip, and a plug-in charger
(included with select printers).

Programming Information

You may need to refer to the

Programmer's Manual

included on the CD-ROM. It provides an explanation of
how to use the printer's command language.

Duty Cycle

The 9430R printer is designed to print up to 1000 inches
per day. The average print rate is 1 inch every 10
seconds at a text character print density of 25% (i.e., one
character printed out of every four positions). Bar codes
and graphics are more dense (print with more dots) than
text and may need a lower duty cycle. In high
temperature environments, pause the printer for one
minute after every four (4) inches printed. If the duty
cycle is exceeded, the printer may not print all of the
information that was sent to it.
