The POWER
Indicator
The POWER/FAULT indicator depicts the cur-
rent printer state of operation. To maximize
battery life, the printer automatically switches
between two power modes: ON & SLEEP
MODE.
Sending data to the printer or pressing the
FEED control will cause the printer to automat-
ically switch from SLEEP MODE to ON mode.
This feature means that the printer is
Always
Ready
for use, provided a charged battery is
installed.

will glow ORANGE. After 10 seconds, the error
condition will be automatically reset and the

If the POWER indicator should fail to light,
glow RED even when labels are loaded, or flash

ing section in Appendix A.
The operation of the indicator will change
when the overnight charger is attached. Refer
