Unpacking your printer
Before using your new printer, remove all packaging material
and inspect the printer for possible shipping damage.
If the printer has been damaged:
•
Contact the shipping company and file a damage report.
• Contact Datamax-O’Neil.
• Keep all shipping materials.
Removing the battery isolator
The battery is already installed in new printers. An insulating
strip (battery isolator) prevents accidental discharge during
shipping. You must remove the battery isolator before using the
printer or attempting to charge its battery.
1. Press the printhead cover release and open the printer.
Locate the battery isolator (see Figure 5).
2. Lift out the battery and battery isolator (see Figure 6).
Remove and discard the battery isolator.
3. Insert the battery in the printer in its original orientation, as
shown in Figure 7.
4. Close the printer.
