Use These Batteries
7 You can use the following batteries with this product. Use only four batteries of
identical type.
• AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (Recommended)
• AA rechargeable NiCd batteries
• AA alkaline batteries
7 Do not use any batteries other than those listed above.
Use of batteries other than those specified may result in damage to the unit.
7 The service life of AA alkaline batteries may be reduced according to the environment
or the way they are used. In such cases, use AA rechargeable NiMH batteries or AA
rechargeable NiCd batteries.
Precautions when using batteries
• Before loading dry cell batteries or rechargeable batteries in the printer, make sure
that the covering of the battery has not been removed and is not scratched. And
when removing and replacing rechargeable batteries, handle them very carefully so
that you do not remove or scratch the covers of the batteries.
Be particularly careful when using the same batteries for a long time.
• Remove the batteries from the printer if you are not going to use it for a long time.
If you do not, the batteries may leak.
• The electric power consumption of this printer varies greatly according to the
printing type.
When batteries that have been stored for a long time or AA alkaline batteries that
have been drained of energy are used, the printing may be too light or printer power
may be cut off without any indication of a power reserve error (P. 15).
• The service life of AA alkaline batteries may be shortened depending on the manufac-
turer and utilization temperature (particularly low temperatures) and the amount of
time that has passed since the batteries were manufactured.
The printer only runs on four AA rechargeable or dry cell batteries.
This section explains how the batteries are loaded and provides additional information
about the batteries.
