Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Battery Care
Charging the Battery
The printer’s battery is charged in the printer using an optional power adapter. Adapters are available for 100-
240VAC/50-60Hz and for 12/24VDC vehicle applications. Follow the steps listed below to charge the battery.
An optional external four-bay charger is also available.
•
Plug the power adapter into a power source appropriate for the adapter being used.
•
Plug the power adapter into the power connector on the side of the printer. The printer’s Battery
Indicator will illuminate indicating that the battery charging circuitry is analyzing the condition of the
battery.
•
If the battery is not fully charged, charging will begin and the Battery Indicator will remain on.
•
When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Indicator will turn off. Charging may take up to 2½
hours depending on the condition of the battery.
•
The printer may be used while the battery is charging, but this will extend the time required to fully
charge the battery.
•
The power adapter may remain connected to the printer to keep the battery fully charged and will not
cause damage to the printer or battery.
The printer’s battery status is displayed in the lower right corner of the front panel LCD Display. The status is
displayed as a battery shape which indicates the relative capacity that remains as indicated below.
Fully Charged
Discharged
Note
: The status will display as fully charged whenever a power adapter is attached.
Additional Battery and Safety Information
•
All DP-550 Series printers use a 7.4 volt 2200mAH Lithium Ion battery.
•
The recommended ambient temperature for charging is 68-77° Fahrenheit (20-25° Centigrade).
•
Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for long periods of time. The battery
storage temperature is 40-104° Fahrenheit (4-40° Centigrade). Do not store a fully charged battery at
temperatures above this range for long periods of time or the battery may permanently lose charge
capacity.
•
Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate the battery. The battery may explode.
•
Only dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. If you do not know
your local regulations, the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) is a
non-profit organization created to promote recycling of rechargeable batteries. For more
