Operation Using Batteries

Important!

Always ensure that all 6 batteries are new AA-size alkaline batteries. The use of batteries other than those specified or a combination of new and old batteries could result in battery characteristics that do not match the printer’s specifications. This may cause printer malfunctions or cause the batteries to fail prematurely.

  1. Remove the battery cover on the bottom of the printer.

    2. Use with batteries01

    Do not apply undue force to the battery cover (bend it backwards, etc.). Doing so may cause a fault.

  2. Load the batteries.

    3. Use with batteries02

    Note the battery polarity (⊕ and ⊖) when loading the batteries.

  3. Re-attach the battery cover.

    4. Use with batteries03

Important!

Using batteries that are low on charge may cause the printer to shut down during printing. It is recommended that you use the specified AC adaptor.

Due to the particular characteristics of the batteries, their capacity may degrade when used at temperatures lower than 10°C. This may make it more likely that the LED indicator will light to show that the batteries are low on charge. If this occurs, move the printer to an environment that is within the printer’s operating temperature range (10°C to 35°C) before using it.

When connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor while the printer is in the “batteries loaded” status, always turn the printer off first.

Battery Life

Under standard printing conditions, the printer will print approximately 4 rolls of 18 mm tape cartridge.

The battery life will be shorter if you are printing images or text with large areas of black, if you are printing at low temperatures, or if you loaded batteries into the printer and left it unused for a long period.

When the printer is not in use, the batteries must be replaced at least once every 2 years.
