Notes about the Battery Pack
General Battery Characteristics
The battery is a consumable and its performance over time gradually decreases.

While not in use, the battery will slowly discharge itself.

Prepare a battery pack that has been charged relatively recently (1 to 2 days earlier).
To ensure that the battery lasts for a long time, we recommend that you turn off the printer whenever

possible.
When used at low temperatures, battery performance will temporarily decline. Be sure to have a fully-

charged spare battery standing by if the printer will operate in a cold environment.
