Chapter 1 — Using the Printer
6 6822 Series 80-Column Printer User’s Manual
Understanding the Power Supply Options
The following power supply options are available for the 6822s.
Using the Internal Battery
The internal battery (P/N 317-075-001) allows the portable printer and
some fixed mount printers to operate independently of other power
sources.
A total discharge of the battery is most likely to occur when the battery is
new and the battery chemical reactions are not fully formed, or the
battery has had only one charge cycle.
Connecting to a Vehicle Power Supply
You will need to order a printer installation kit to install the 6822 printer
in a vehicle. The following kits are available:
• P/N 203-242-101 (fixed mount printers)
• P/N 203-242-102 (portable printers).
The installation kits contain all of the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, a
terminal ring, and a fuse link) for connecting the battery cable directly to
the vehicle battery. These kits also contain adjustable wire clamps to
secure the cable in place.
See the 6820 Printer Installation Instructions (P/N 931-052-001) to
learn how to connect the printer to a vehicle power supply.
The 6822 discharges the internal battery even when the
printer is not is use. Over time, the internal battery can
discharge to the point where the battery is not recoverable.
Plug the printer into an external charge source or
disconnect the battery when you store the printer for any
length of time.
Note: The 6820 printer and associated electrical wiring should
be installed under the supervision of properly trained and
qualified personnel.
