Precautions when using batteries
• The electric power consumption of this printer varies greatly according to the
printing type.
When batteries that have been stored for a long time or AA alkaline batteries that
have been drained of energy are used, the printing may be too light or printer power
may be cut off without any indication of a power reserve error (P. 15).
• The service life of AA alkaline batteries may be shortened depending on the manufac-
turer and utilization temperature (particularly low temperatures) and the amount of
time that has passed since the batteries were manufactured.
• Remove the batteries from the printer if you are not going to use it for a long time.
If you do not, the batteries may leak.
