Chapter 3 Line Power Operation
• 120V – as charging progresses, yelow and green bars illuminate
individually with each 10-15% increase in charge state.
• 230V – the two red bars light when the charger is in Stage 1 (30-75%
charge). When the charger enters Stage 2 (76-98% charge), the two
yellow lights also illuminate. The two green lights illuminate together when
the charger enters Stage 3 (greater than 98% charge). When all SoC
lamps are illuminated, the PrintCart is fully charged.
When battery power is available to the PrintCart, the Battery Powered
mode indicator (yellow) illuminates. When the PrintCart is connected via
line power, the Line Powered mode indicator (green) illuminates.
Make sure the source of AC power is through a modern 3-prong grounded
outlet and is a reliable service capable of delivering the required current.
Normal and maximum current specifications are listed in Appendix A on
page 47. Table 1 on page 22 shows the maximum recharge time.
The line cord design uses a short PrintCart cord connected to an extension
cord. The two are connected together inside a cord wrapping device. This
method provides an easy, user level repair to encourage maintenance. The
cord can be replaced with a variety of cords as long as they meet the original
specification and are not longer than 25 feet. See “Spare Parts” on page 51
for cord requirements.
IMPORTANT Using a cord or series of cords longer than 25 feet may result in power
loss. This could affect operation of either the PrintCart equipment or
power system.
