Charge the optional battery pack
The printer can operate with the optional NiCd battery pack when an external power source
is not available. Battery life varies depending on the options and the print density.

ten hours.

2. Turn the Power switch on while holding down the I ON
j button.
3. The indicator blinks while the battery is being charged.
When the battery reaches a nearly full charge, the indicator automatically goes
off (auto power off function).
CAUTION: Do not overcharge the battery pack.

short self-test mode. The printer will print the version number of the printer’s ROM,
followed by six lines of the character set.
Each line will be offset by one character from the one before it. The final result will be
