Refresh
Refresh occurs when the printer fully
discharges the rechargeable Ni-MH
battery so that the battery can be
recharged to its full capacity. To refresh
the battery, press and hold the (Power)
button for a few seconds until the POWER
indicator begins to blink in green and
orange. The specified settings determine
whether the battery is simply recharged or
if it is refreshed. (See
on page 46 for more options.)
Over-discharge
Over-discharge occurs when the
rechargeable Ni-MH battery's power has
been depleted to the point that even when
charged, it will not retain as much power
as before. To avoid over-discharging the
battery, charge it periodically.
Inactivity
Inactivity is the condition when the
rechargeable Ni-MH battery has been
unused for too long, and it cannot retain as
much power as before. The battery can be
restored to its earlier capacity by trickle
charging for an hour. If more than one
year has passed since the battery was last
use, it will not return to its earlier capacity.
Trickle charge
Trickle charge is the small amount of
power used to charge the rechargeable
Ni-MH battery whenever the printer is
connected to AC or DC power. The battery
slowly discharges (loses power) over time,
even when not in use. Trickle charging
offsets this discharge, so that the battery
remains charged.
