8-2. Resetting during printing
When printing dense pattern of many dots, both SEL LED and PE LED are turned
on, and PE LED is turned off. During this time, data to be printed may be skipped
and printing may continue with each setting reset. It happens because the voltage
drops below 4.3V, caused by too many printing dots and the printer reset circuit
works.
If this happens, change the printing mode (fixed high-speed, fixed low speed,
dynamic partition) to increase printing partition and decrease the number of
simultaneously energized dots. However, if the battery voltage is dropped too low,
re-charge the battery. (For more information, refer to "Controlling the Thermal
Head" in the Technical Manual.)
Note: When using the battery, it is recommended to enable the battery mode.
8-3 Checking the battery voltage
The following two functions are available for checking the battery voltage.
(1) Soft reset (when the power-supply voltage drops below 5.1V)
The power is turned off (The power switch is still ON.)
Turning on the power switch again may turn on the power. If so, re-charge the
battery. This happens because the printer software monitors the voltage and
interrupts the power when the voltage drops below the specified value.
(2) Battery reset (when the power-supply voltage drops below 5.0 V for 10ms or a
power-supply current of 6A or more flows for 20 ms.)
The power is turned off. (The power switch is still ON.)
Turning on the power switch again does not turn on the power. Replace or
re-charge the battery to turn off the power. In these cases, re-charge the battery.
The above events happen during a wait state, but are apt to happen more during
printing. They happen because when the specified conditions are met, the battery
protective circuit works to interrupt the battery power.
