Determining Current Battery Power

To determine the current charge on the battery pack, print out a

self-test by pressing and holding the red self-test button for four

seconds. If the battery is good, you will see the abbreviation for

the word “GOOD” next to the Battery voltage print out.

This printer has a built in low battery detector. When the print-

er’s battery voltage is low, the printer beeps three times, indicat-

ing a Low Battery Warning. This only happens if the printer is

awake.

Paper Loading

Out of Paper

The PB20 Printer sounds two quick beeps when it runs out of

paper. If the printer is out of paper, the printer suspends opera-

tion until paper is present and the lever is down. The printer

continues to communicate with the mobile computer as long as

it does not “time out.” Once the printer restarts, it finishes the

rest of the print job from where it left off.

Removing Paper Core from your PB20 Printer

1Unsnap the latch and lift up the cover.

2Wrap your index finger around the empty paper core and pull

up. The paper rod will snap out.

3Remove the empty paper core and discard.

Paper Loading

Standard Paper

If you are using standard paper, you can load the paper auto-

matically or manually. Experiment to find out which method is

best for you.

Liner’ed Labels

If you are using liner’ed paper, it is best to use the manual paper

loading method.

Automatic Paper Loading

1Press the red self-test button to wake the printer.

2With the loose, clean edge of the paper coming from the bot-

tom of the roll, insert the edge of the paper between the roller

and the platen.

3Pushing the button again while the printer is awake causes

the mechanism to feed about one inch of paper.

4Insert the paper into the paper well with it resting on the pa-

per rod clips.

Manual Paper Loading

1Lift up the paper release lever. This takes the pressure off the

platen. Make sure you have a clean edge on the new paper

roll.

2Taketheedgeofthepaperandfoldit45degrees.

3Insert the tip of the paper between the roller and the platen.

4Push on the paper until the tip is peeking out the other side.

(If it seems too tight to insert the tip, lift up the paper release

lever and turn the gear to advance the paper).

5Grab the tip and pull it through until the paper is straight.

6Push down the paper release lever and insert the paper into

the paper well with it resting in the paper rod clips.

7Press the red button while the printer is on and it will feed

paper. You will need about two inches of paper coming out of

the mechanism.

8Lower the cover while placing the extra paper though the tear

bar.

9Close Latch Cover and tear off extra paper.
