Front Flex Assembly 119995

The Front Flex Assembly contains the black mark
sensor and RF connector. When black mark sensing is
selected, the start-of-label position synchronization for
each label is accomplished through the use of the
reflective optical sensor (black mark sensor). The
black-mark sensor detects a black mark pre-printed on
the back of the supply and the die cut sensor detects
the change in the amount of light passed through the
label liner. The sensors are used to control the start-of-
print position. A proprietary scheme is used to
automatically compensate for differences in sensor
sensitivity as well as for variations in supply and black
mark reflectivity.

RF PCB Assembly 118752

The RF PCB is mounted within the lower portion of the
Front Case Assembly on projections formed on the
inside of the front outer case. It is secured in place
during assembly by small plastic retainers that are
pressed on the projections. The antenna is wound up
toward the top of the door. This arrangement permits
the RF link to communicate with the host from a
distance of up to 3 meters (9.8 feet).

BATTERY PACK 120095

The printer is powered by a 2 high-capacity Lithium Ion
cells inside a battery pack for a combined output of 7.4
VDC at 1.6 AH. A pocket is provided in the back inner
housing that is shaped such that the battery pack nests
within it and cannot be inserted except in the correct
orientation. The battery inserts into the pocket from the
front when the Front Case Assembly is open with its
long direction oriented front to back. The pocket is
located near the bottom of the unit and is somewhat
straddled by the CPU board.
The battery pack is a disposable item and cannot be
repaired. It contains protection circuitry in the case of a
malfunction. With its capacity, it is designed to print up
to 5500 inches before recharging. Unlike other battery
technologies, recharging a partially used Lithium Ion
battery pack will not reduce its cycle life or cause
limited capacity through memory.
It can be removed for charging. Or, while in the printer,
it can be charged through contacts that are located on
the printer base. To do so, the printer is inserted into
the printer adapter 120291. The M09461 Single Station
Charger will accommodate one battery for charging and
is a stand-alone charger. The M09463 Four Station
Charger Base must be used with the 120290 battery
adapter or 120291 printer adapter. Because the base
has four stations, the following combinations of adapters
can be used: four 120290 battery adapters or two
120291 printer adapters and two 120290 battery
adapters.
