2. Getting Started
Low Battery
Anytime you store the printer, keep a handle attached to maintain the memory. However, you may need to recharge the handle before the printer can be operated.
While you are using the printer, the printer beeps when the power is low, and displays a message:
RECHARGE
Turn the power off, switch to a fully charged handle, and recharge the used one. To ensure maximum print quality, switch to a fully charged handle for every roll of supply that is printed.
Factors Affecting a Charge
Here are a few factors which affect how long a charge will last.
∙The amount of information printed on each label. More energy is required to print a label with 10 fields than to print a label with 4 fields.
∙When the handle is not in use and is not recharging, the handle loses 2 - 3% of its charge per day.
∙Environments with extreme heat or cold will increase or decrease the discharge rate.
During short term storage, you should keep the handle recharging. This way, the printer is ready for immediate use the next time you need it.
