Understanding the Power Supply Options

Using the Internal Battery

Connecting to a Vehicle Power Supply

6
The following power supply options are available for the 6820.
The internal battery (P/N 317-075-xxx) allows the portable printer and
some fixed mount printers to operate independently of other power
sources.
The 6820 discharges the internal battery even when the printer is
not is use. Over time, the internal battery can discharge to the point
where the battery is not recoverable.
Plug the printer into an external charge source or disconnect the
battery when you store the printer for any length of time.
A total discharge of the battery is most likely to occur when the battery is
new and the battery chemical reactions are not fully formed, or the
battery has had only one charge cycle.
You will need to order a printer installation kit to install the 6820 printer
in a vehicle. The following kits are available:
• P/N 203-242-101 (fixed mount printers)
•
P/N 203-242-102 (portable printers)
The installation kits contain all of the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, a
terminal ring, and a fuse link) for connecting the battery cable directly to
the vehicle battery. These kits also contain adjustable wire clamps to
secure the cable in place.
Note: The 6820 printer and associated electrical wiring should be
installed under the supervision of properly trained and qualified
personnel.
See the 6820 Printer Installation Instructions (P/N 931-052-xxx) to
learn how to connect the printer to a vehicle power supply.
