PB50 and PB51 Mobile Printer User's Guide
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures over
50°C (122°F).
• Only charge the battery inside the printer using a power supply or
in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).
Do not set the backlight to always on. The always on setting
•
disables the automatic power saving modes.
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• Press the Standby button to put the printer in Standby mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you will not be using it for
three days or more.
• Do not operate the printer in extremely cold temperatures. Using
the printer in temperatures below freezing reduces the overall
battery life.
Remember that any rechargeable battery loses its ability to maintain a
charge over time. You can only recharge it a finite number of times
before you must replace it.
You can use roll or fanfold receipt media with both the PB50 and
PB51 printers. Your printer ships with a small amount of media
loaded and a test page printed to verify that the printer works. The
PB50 printer supports self-strip printing applications. For
information on how to correctly load media for self-strip printing, see
"To load media for self-strip printing (PB50 only)" on page
For information on media specifications, see
