2.1 Charging the Battery Cartridge

Insert the battery Cartridge into the printer:
 Remove the battery door at the back of the printer, by placing a coin into the slot and pushing the cover to
release the lock (see Figure 2).
 Install the battery cartridge in the battery compartment located at the back of the printer as shown in Figure 3.
Charge the battery cartridge before operating the printer:
 Plug the power adapter into an appropriate wall socket; then plug the power adapter cord into Power Input
Connector at the rear of the printer (see Figure 2). The yellow Charge light will illuminate, to indicate
battery is charging.
 The Charge LED turns off when battery cartridge is fully charged. It takes 60 to 90 minutes to fast charge the
battery pack.
 To insure full charge, printer should not be operated while the battery is charging.
Important notes on charging the battery:
The model 2000i uses 9 VDC/1A adapter to recharge the battery pack.
Each time the power adapter is connected to the printer, the battery Fast-charge is initiated.
Before the start of the fast recharge process, the fast-charge controller checks the battery's voltage and
temperature.
If the battery voltage or the temperature is outside of the fast-charge limits, the charger defaults to trickle
charge at C/10 or 70mA rate.
Optional external battery charger is available for Datamax-O'Neil printers, a single bay fast rate charger and
conditioner and four bay 12 hours trickle charger.
