Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, you must first remove the red

battery isolator labels.

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. The Charge LED

turns red when charging and turns green when fully

charged. (For more information on the Charge LED, see

Audio Indicators and LEDs on page 10

.) A complete

charge takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

If your printer is installed with external charge

capabilities, you can also charge your printer using

Datamax-O’Neil approved accessories. For more

information, see

Using External Charging on page 15

Determining Battery Condition

To determine the battery’s condition, print a self-test.

For more information, see

Printing a Self-Test on

page 8

. The battery voltage varies between 6.2 and 8.4

volts.

Caution: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery

must cycle through two to three charges. 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.

MICROFLASH 4TE PRINTER USER'S GUIDE
