Power Functions

You can customize the printer using the power functions, the auto-power off function and
battery charge mode function to save the battery power or minimize the battery deterioration.

Auto-Power Off

The printer automatically turns off once the specified time has elapsed in the idle state.
However, when the printer is in the following status, it is not considered as idle state, and the
auto-power off function is not applied.
• Printer is off-line
• Remaining battery amount is at S level
The auto-power off time is selectable with the customized value. To set the customized
value, see

Battery Charge Modes

The printer acts differently when connected to the optional AC adapter depending on the battery
charge mode.
The printer has two modes and is initially set to the mode 1.
The battery charge mode is selectable with the customized value. To set the customized
value, see
Mode 1
Suitable for battery-powered operation.
In Mode 1, battery charging is controlled so that the battery is always fully charged. This
maximizes the battery life when using the printer as a portable printer.
Mode 2
Suitable for the printer that is always connected to the AC adapter.
In Mode 2, battery charging is controlled so that the battery is about 80% charged. This reduces
the deterioration of the battery.
