OC-2 SERIES OF PRINTERS USER'S GUIDE

Setting up your printer

Use the following information to set up your printer:

• "Unpacking your printer" on page 2

• "Installing/removing the battery" on page 3, or "Removing

the battery isolator" on page 2 (new printers only)

• "Loading media" on page 7

• "Printing a self-test" on page 8

• "Connecting the printer via a cable or radio" on page 9

• "Configuring the printer" on page 10

In addition to the steps outlined in each section, additional

information may be included if it applies to, or expands upon,

the step being discussed.

Unpacking your printer

Before using your new printer, remove all packaging material

and inspect the printer for possible shipping damage.

If the printer has been damaged:

• Contact the shipping company and file a damage report.

• Contact Datamax-O’Neil.

• Keep all shipping materials.

Removing the battery isolator

The battery is already installed in new printers. An insulating

strip (battery isolator) prevents accidental discharge during

shipping. You must remove the battery isolator before using

the printer or attempting to charge its battery.

1. Press the printhead cover release and open the printer.

Locate the battery isolator (see Figure 5).

2. Lift out the battery and battery isolator (Figure 6). Remove

and discard the battery isolator.

3. Insert the battery in the printer in its original orientation, as

shown in Figure 7.

4. Close the printer.

Installing/removing the battery

Note:

The battery is already installed in new printers. See

"Removing the battery isolator" on page 2 for information on

enabling the battery in a new printer.

Installing the battery

1. Press the printhead cover release and open the printer, as

shown in Figure 8.

2. Remove any packaging material (if applicable).

3. Position the battery with its contacts facing toward the

battery cavity, as shown in Figure 9.

4. Lower the battery into the battery cavity, fitting the contact

end of the battery into the cavity first, as shown in

Figure 10.

5. Slide the battery all the way to the right in the battery cavity

so that the edge of the battery hits the battery stop, as

shown in Figure 11. The printer beeps one time when you

install the battery. Figure 12 shows the fully seated battery.

Note: Do not force the battery into the battery cavity.

When inserted properly, the battery easily slides and locks

into place. If the battery does not easily slide into place,

re-insert the battery.

6. Close the printer cover (Figure 13).

7. Charge the battery (batteries are shipped uncharged). For

more information, see "Charging the battery" on page 4.

Removing the battery

1. Lift the battery up and out of the battery cavity while sliding

it to the left (Figure 14).

2. Remove the battery from the battery cavity (Figure 15).

Charging the battery

The battery status LED will glow red if the battery charge is

low and the printer is powered on. (For more information, see

"Using the control panel" on page 12.)

Charge the battery as follows:

1. Verify the battery is installed correctly.

ETTING

YOUR

PRINTER

2. Plug the AC adapter power cord into an appropriate power

source.

3. Plug the AC adapter into the printer power port (Figure 16).

4. Charge the battery. The battery status LED flashes red while

the battery is charging and turns solid green when the

battery is fully charged. One complete charge takes 4 to 5

hours.

Determining the battery condition

The battery voltage varies between 6.2 and 8.4 volts. While the

battery is powering the printer (AC adapter not connected), the

battery status LED displays the battery condition as follows:

•Solid Green: The battery is fully charged.

•Solid Orange: The battery is partially discharged, but will

power the printer. Plan on recharging the battery soon.

•Solid Red: The battery does not have sufficient charge to

operate the printer. Recharge it immediately.

For information on battery error conditions, see "Using the

control panel" on page 12.

Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.
