Before Using Your Printer For The

First Time

Remove the battery contact protective tab strips underneath

the batteries. They are placed there to keep your printer from

self-discharging during shipment.

1. Push against the battery removal tabs and lift the battery

up before pulling on the tabs. These tabs prevent the bat-

tery contacts from touching and therfore, no charging oc-

curs.

2. If your printer won’t charge after removing the protective

tabs, check for and remove any residue in the battery pin

area.

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 abbrevi-

ation for the word “GOOD” next to the Battery voltage print

out.

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

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

indicating a Low Battery Warning. This only happens if the

printer is awake.

Paper Loading

Out of Paper

The PW40A 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 PW40A Printer

1. Unsnap the latch and lift up the cover.

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

pull up. The paper rod will snap out.

3. Remove 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.

Linerless Labels

If you are using linerless paper, it is best to use the manual pa-

per loading method.

Automatic Paper Loading

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

2. With the loose, clean edge of the paper coming from the

bottom of the roll, insert the edge of the paper between

the roller and the platen.

3. Push the button again while the printer is awake causes

the mechanism to feed about 6--8 inches of paper.

4. Insert the paper into the paper well with it resting on the

paper rod clips.

Manual Paper Loading

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

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

paper roll.

2. Take the edge of the paper and fold it 45 degrees.

3. Insert the tip of the paper between the roller and the plat-

en.

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

side.

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

straight.
