Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the P200N portable, battery
operated, thermal serial printer.
Your printer comes with this manual, two rolls of 2.25 in.
thermal paper, a 9VDC wall adaptor, for charging the printer’s
batteries, and a serial cable designed to hook up to the
Copicode Alpha, the TC4N, and other products.
Precharging the Batteries
Your printer comes with internal Ni-Cd batteries that must be
charged for about 8 hours prior to the printer being used for the
first time. Simply plug the 9 VDC wall adaptor into the wall and
the printer power jack at the back of the printer.
In general, it is a good idea to turn off the printer when not in
use to save battery charge. The printer is designed to
automatically turn off, by default, after five minutes of inactivity.
Also, if the internal batteries are not sufficiently charged, the
printer will shut off.
Inserting Thermal Paper
It is easy to insert thermal paper in the P200N. Simply lift the
plastic paper compartment lid from the front, drop in a roll as
shown, and close the lid (you will hear a click). Notice the tear
off serrated blade for cleaning cutting the paper after printing.
Turning the Printer On and OFF
To turn on the printer, press the ON button. To turn it off, press
the OFF button.
