Using the Battery: General Guidelines
If the printer has not been used for a long period of
time, it may be necessary to recharge the battery. For
more information, see Charging the Battery on page 2 .
Charging the Battery
If the battery is low when the printer “wakes up,” the
printer sounds three short beeps. Plug the AC Adapter
into an appropriate power source and into the Power
Port on the printer. The Charge LED will flash and
progress from red (when the battery is very low in
power) to orange, and then to a solid green when the
battery is fully charged. A complete charge takes
approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours.
Determining Battery Condition
To determine the battery’s condition, print a self-test.
For more information, see Printing a Self-Test on
page 4 . The battery voltage varies between 5.8 and 8.0
volts.
Note: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery
must cycle through two to three complete depletions
and recharges.
Note: To restart a charge, unplug the power cord.
Wait 30 seconds, then replug the power cord.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
