Environmental protection
After the printer and RFI
modules have been put out
of service, do not take them
out together with other do-
mestic waste.
According to Directive No 2002/96/EC
of the European Council on electrical
and electronic equipment waste, the
HANDJET
®
EBS 250 printer and RFI
modules that have been put out of
service must be separated from do-
mestic waste and processed in an
environmentally friendly way.
Application
The HANDJET
®
EBS 250 printer is
designed for marking, labelling, put-
ting prints and simple graphics wher-
ever the use of a manual labelling
device is required or preferred.
Prints are put on objects in a non-
contact INK-JET way.
Installing and Starting up
Preparing the Printer for Opera-
tion
Charging the Battery
A LI-ION top-quality battery has been
installed in the printer. It can be re-
charged at any stage of printer opera-
tion.
The battery that is new or has not
been used for a long time cannot be
charged up to its full capacity. There-
fore, in order to form the battery follow
three charge-and-then-discharge cy-
cles. See figures
A
and
C
.
1. Pull out plug 15 from socket 14
and tilt it.
2. Insert power pack connector 26
to socket 14 , and connect power
pack 25 to a wall outlet.
3. Lamp 21 glows when the battery
is being charged. Wait until the
charging is over and lamp
21
starts flashing.
4. Remove the power pack plug 26
and secure socket 14 with plug
15 . Detach the power pack from
the mains and place it into the
bag.
5. Do not recharge the battery until
it is completely discharged - see
Low-battery indicator
.
The HANDJET
®
EBS 250 printer
should be stored with its batteries
charged. If the printer is to be stored
for a longer time (6 months or longer)
and its batteries are not recharged, it
may work for a shorter time after it
has been recharged afterwards or in
certain circumstances even stop
working. Such a phenomena is
caused by the properties of the batter-
ies, which are always subject to the
process of self-discharging. In the
consequence of self-discharging and
long-term storage in the discharge
state, the maximum capacity of the
batteries may lower or the batteries
may get damaged completely.
In order to avoid such a situation, it is
necessary to charge batteries of the
HANDJET
®
EBS 250 printer at least
twice a year (however not less
frequently than every 6 months)
.
Otherwise, the printer may stop work-
