5. CARE AND MAINTAINANCE 

 
 

5.1 NI-MH BATTERY MAINTAINANCE 

 
NI-MH batteries have a high self-discharge rate.  It is therefore recommended to complete a full charge cycle 
at least once a week.  If the batteries become discharged to the point the unit will no longer turn on under 
battery power, complete a full recharge cycle by plugging the unit in and leaving it plugged in for 3 hours.  The 
Battery Information screen (shown below) will display the batteries’ charge and voltage information.  It can be 
viewed from the Main Menu and pressing “ESC” on the keypad will return the user back to the Main Menu 
screen.

5.2 CLEANING 

 
Only the outer surfaces of the case and the front panel of the unit should need cleaning.  Use a damp cloth 
with glass cleaner to wipe clean the front panel surfaces.  Take care not to allow cleaning fluid or fluids of any 
kind to enter through the crevasses of the front panel (ports and connection terminals).  The front panel 
should not need removed under normal circumstances.  Do not attempt to vacuum the main chassis. 

 

5.3 PRINTER MAINTENANCE

 

 

5.3.1 Power On Self-Test 

 
The self-test procedure is initiated by supplying power to the printer while the paper feed button is depressed. 
When the paper feed button is released a test print will be produced.
