Turning the unit On and Off
The Pocket Merchant is turned on by pressing the power button once. The unit
will give 5 rising tones, and the green “ON LINE” LED will illuminate. After about
two seconds, when the internal self test is complete, the printer will beep once
more, the red LED will flash, and the printer will advance the paper about 1 mm.
This indicates that the printer is ready for use.
If the printer remains unused for five minutes, it will turn itself off in order to
conserve battery power. This way, you can “use and forget” it, and never come
back to a dead printer.
To turn the printer off manually, depress and hold the button until the printer
makes 5 falling beep tones, and all LED’s extinguish.
