IP54 Soft Case
(Optional Available Accessory)
Proper use of this case will allow the printer to be used in
harsh, dusty or rainy environments. This case is certified to
an IP54 rating, so when properly used, it will protect your
product against particles as small as dust, and water from
any direction. This case can be used in conjunction with the
hand/shoulder straps, as well the belt-loop and belt-clip
accessories.
The IP54 case has been tested at an accredited lab for use in
dusty and heavy water environments. However, it is not
designed for extensive prolonged use in the rain. During
normal operation, water could enter into the case during
media changing. This ingress of moisture should be avoided at
all costs. The printer warranty cannot be honored for
excessive water inside the printer even if an IP54 case is
used.
1. Open the case at the two (2) side zippers.
2. Slide the printer into the case.
3. Close the case using the two (2) side zippers and Velcro
® closure.
4. Fold back the paper exit flap for each print job. The paper exit flap can also be rolled up out of the
way and secured using the Velcro ® strip; doing so decreases the effectiveness of the case for water
protection.

Never attempt to charge when the printer case or printer is wet as a short circuit could occur.
Remove the printer from the case, allow to completely dry and then charge. In the event water is
believed to have entered the printer, remove the battery and allow the unit to dry for several days
before installing the battery or charging.
