KEYBOARD AND LED DESCRIPTION
Press the ON/OFF key until the Status led starts blinking to turn on the printer, then
release the key.
Press the ON/OFF key until the Status led remains on to turn off the printer, then
release the key.
To access the configuration mode, press the ON/OFF key and the MENU key to turn on
the printer: when the paper roll starts advancing, release both keys (see chapter
Printer Configuration).
When the printer is on, press the MENU key to advance paper by two lines.
When you turn on the printer, press the MENU key with the ON/OFF key to activate
the printer configuration mode.
The POWER Led provides information on the rechargeable battery status.
When you connect an external power supply, the printer checks rechargeable battery
status and, if necessary, it starts charging batteries.
A pre-charge phase may precede the real charge to avoid excessive stress on
batteries when they are significantly discharged, or their temperature is too low: in
this phase the POWER led blinks every second.
After this first phase, the quick charge starts: the POWER led remains on and it turns
off when the battery is fully charged.
At this point, it is possible to disconnect the external power supply and use
rechargeable batteries only.
Warning: if you connect an external power supply and the POWER led turns off
immediately instead of lighting, it means that there is a fault or there are no batteries.
The STATUS led shows the printer status. If the led blinks every two seconds, it
means that the printer is on and ready to print. If you disable the automatic switch -
off, the led blinks twice every two seconds (to set automatic switch-off, see chapter
Configuration).
To turn off the printer, press the ON/OFF key until the STATUS led stops blinking and
remains on: now you can release the key. The printer turns off.
The following table shows different POWER and STATUS led combinations.
