Chapter 10
Replacing the Time/
Date Battery
A time/date battery is provided in order to
maintain the settings for the internal clock.
The battery will be consumed even if the
printer is not used for a long period of time.
 Only use recommended batteries in
the printer. Other batteries may
cause damage to the printer.
 Dispose of the battery at an
appropriate collection point, not in
the general waste stream. In
addition, be sure to observe all
applicable federal, state, and local
regulations.
 When storing or discarding the
battery, wrap it (for example with
cellophane tape), to prevent it from
short-circuiting.

 We recommend replacing the
battery every two years.
 If the clock is reset while power is
supplied to the printer, replace this
battery. When replacing the lithium
battery, purchase a CR2032 battery
(recommended manufacturers:
Hitachi Maxell, Ltd., FDK

Corporation, Sony Corporation,
Toshiba Corporation and VARTA
