6.1.4 Power consumption

Following table shows an approximate overview of power consumption of mobile printer HW 90195 at

different operating states (BIOS printer #09906, firmware radio module: #09907). The power consumption

during printing depends much on the print image. The pulse motor will be supplied with power for 15 sec-

onds after each printout (see 2), holding the printout tight for easy tear off. During this period of time the

mobile printer can turn to operating state 5 as a result of a canceled radio connection. If the mobile termi-

nal is switched off or out of radio range, the power consumption will be significantly increased (see 6&4).

No. CPU Radio module Stepping motor Print line Power consumption in mA

1 on on / conn. Paper forward feed on 500 ... 3000

2 on on / conn. Holding paper off 300

3 on on / conn. off off 110

4 on on / no conn. off off 150

5 doze sleep / conn. off off 20

6 doze sleep / no conn. off off 100

7 off off off off 0,3

6.2 Functions

6.2.1 Operating modes

The green LED of the printer is switched on or flashing (depending on charging condi-

tion of accu). Printer can be switched off with on/off-key.

Off

All LEDs of the printer are switched off. Printer can be switched on with on/off-key.

Printer turns to sleep mode immediately after switch on.

Sleep mode

The printer turns immediately after switch on from off-mode, resp. after a period of 30

seconds with no radio connection, to sleep mode (green LED flashes every 2 sec-

onds).

The printer can be activated with the on/off-key or via radio by the Base Station. Now

the printer is switched on. To activate the printer via radio a signal will be sent to the

printer to establish a connection. If the printer turns to the sleep mode because of the

30s-time-out function, the connection will still remain for further activation processing.

Note!

The printer should always be switched off after operation (do not let the printer remain at

sleep mode).

If the printer will not be used for a long period of time ( > 1 day) , take out accu block.
