You can change the amount of time to have elapse before the
backlight turns off using the Setup menu. Options for backlight are
always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds,
or 60 seconds.
The printer uses a rechargeable 7.4 V 2300 mAh (typical) lithium-ion
battery (Model AB27) for power. You must fully charge the battery
before you can use the printer. The battery retains a charge for up to
five days when the printer is in Standby mode.
A fully charged battery can usually print over 300 6-inch labels (PB31)
or 500 6-inch labels (PB21) at 25% print density. When the printer
reports low battery, it can usually print over 50 6-inch labels at 10%
print density. The number of labels you can print varies with the:
• Age of the battery.
• Temperature and humidity of the operating environment.
• Printer configuration, including network connection settings.
• Type of media loaded in the printer.
• Amount of data printed for each label.
• Threshold at which you configure the low battery warning.
Use Intermec Model AB27 battery only. Use of another battery
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
The Model AB27 battery may present a fire or chemical burn
hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C
(212°F), or incinerate.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
