Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
PB50 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer User’s Guide 7
Managing Power on the PB50
Use the power options on the PB50 to manage and conserve battery
power. From the Power option in Setup menu, you can set Low
Battery, Sleep Timer, and Standby Timer.
Use the Low Battery option to set the battery voltage at which the low
battery warning appears. The values for Low Battery range from 12.1
V to 16.8 V in 0.1 V increments. The default setting is 13.5 V.
Use the Sleep Timer option to set the amount of time it takes for the
PB50 to go to “sleep” if the printer is not printing and you do not have
any interaction with it. When the printer goes to “sleep,” it turns off
the backlight and it dims the Ready-to-Work indicator. By default, the
printer backlight turns off after 20 seconds of no user interaction.
You can set Sleep Timer to always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10
seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds. The backlight turns
on when:
• the printer begins printing.
• you press a button.
• you connect the printer to external power.
• you are communicating with or sending data to the printer.
Use the Standby Timer option to turn off power to the radio, the
display, and the backlight. The Standby Timer option has the same
effect on the PB50 as pressing the Standby button. When the printer
is in Standby mode, both the LCD and the Ready-to-Work indicator
are turned off. You can set Standby Timer to 5 mins, 10 mins, 20
mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, or disabled. Press the Standby button to turn
the printer back on.
Note: If you have Sleep Timer set to always on, the Standby timer
setting will have no effect on the PB50.
