Charging The Battery; Tips On Using The Battery; Stopping The Charge Process - Pentax PocketJet 3 User Manual

Charging the Battery

Note: Batteries are shipped from the factory uncharged.
Charging the Battery
1. Make sure the printer is connected to an AC power outlet with the
AC adapter and power cord or a DC power cord.
2. Make sure the printer is off.
3. Press the main switch and hold it down for a few seconds until the
POWER indicator light begins to blink. This starts the charging of
the battery.
The POWER indicator light blinks until charging is complete.
The maximum time to charge to 100% capacity is approximately 120
minutes. A new battery at 100% charge will yield approximately
100 pages of printing.
When the printer finishes charging the battery, it automatically turns
itself off, and the POWER indicator light goes off.
Note that when the printer is connected to an external source of power,
it will constantly draw approximately 20 mA to trickle charge the
battery.

Stopping the Charge Process

If you want to stop the printer while it is in Charge mode, press the
main switch twice quickly.

Tips on Using the Battery

Darker prints discharge the battery faster than lighter prints do.
Use the density adjustment from the driver dialog on your
computer or use the Set-Up Utility to adjust lightness and
darkness. See "Advanced Software Features" on page 28.
