parts inside the printer.
Extending Battery Life
•Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures
over 104∞ F (40∞ C).
• Choose the media or ribbon that is easiest to “burn.” An autho-
rized Zebra reseller can help you determine this.
• Make sure you’re using the optimal ribbon/media combination
for your application. An authorized Zebra reseller can help you
determine this.
• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, consider
using a pre-printed label.
• Choose the correct print darkness, print speed, and printhead
pressure for your media and ribbon.
• Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possible.
• Select Tear-Off mode whenever possible (Peel-Off mode uses
more power).
• Pull the battery out of the printer if the printer won’t be used for
a day or more and you’re not performing a maintenance
charge.
• Completely discharge the battery before recharging. Wait until
you get a “battery under voltage - level 1 “ indication (Error LED
off and Power LED flashing) before you recharge.
• Consider purchasing an extended life battery, which offers dou-
ble the life of a standard battery.
