3. Replace the battery cover.
Important!
• The printer may suddenly turn off during printing if battery power goes low.
Because of this, use of the bundled AC adaptor is recommended to power
the printer.
• Because of the affect cold has on batteries, the “LOW BATTERY!” may appear
prematurely when the temperature is below 10˚C(50˚F). If this happens,
move the printer to a location where the temperature is within the operating
temperature range (10˚C to 35˚C (50˚F to 95˚F))

Power Requirements
You can run the printer by using its bundled AC adaptor to plug it into a power
outlet. It can also run on commercially available alkaline batteries.
■ Using Batteries
Note
• The printer can run on eight AA-size alkaline batteries. Be sure to use alkaline
batteries only.
1. Turn over the printer and remove the bat-
tery cover.
• Never bend or twist the battery cover,
or otherwise subject it to rough
handling. Doing so creates the risk of
printer malfunction.
2. Load a set of eight new batteries.
• Make sure the positive g and negative
h poles of the batteries are facing in
the proper directions.
Battery Life
Disc Label Printing
• Printing of approximately 150 discs*
Normal temperature (20˚C (68˚F)), one printing per disc.
Label Tape Printing
• Printing of approximately two 18mm tape cartridges under standard
printing conditions*
* When printing text or graphics that contain large areas of black, and
printing under cold temperatures can shorten battery life for both disc
label printing and label tape printing.
