Before Using Your Printer For The

First Time

Remove the protective tab strips underneath the batteries. They

are placed there to keep your printer from discharging during

shipment.

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

before pulling on the protective tab strips. These tabs pre-

vent the battery contacts from touching and therefore, no

charging occurs.

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 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. 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.

Linered Labels

If you are using linered paper, it is best to use the manual paper

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 bot-

tom 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 1” of paper.

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

per 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.

PW40A Printer Quick Start Guide

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

4 Push 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).

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

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

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

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

paper. You will need about 2 inches of paper coming out of

the mechanism.
