Solid Orange

: The battery is partially discharged, but will

power the printer. Plan on recharging the battery soon.

Solid Red

: The battery does not have sufficient charge to

operate the printer. Recharge it immediately.

For information on battery error conditions, see "Using the

control panel" on page 12.

Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.
