Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures over
40°C (104°F).
• Only charge the battery inside the PW50 using a power supply or
in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• Press the Standby button to put the printer in Standby mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you are not going to use it
for three or more days.
• Do not operate the PW50 in extremely cold temperatures. Using
the PW50 in temperatures below freezing reduces the overall
battery life.
Remember that any rechargeable battery loses its ability to maintain a
charge over time. You can only recharge it a finite number of times
before you must replace it.
Loading Media
You can use roll or fanfold receipt media with the PW50 printer. The
PW50 ships with a small amount of media loaded and a test page
printed to verify that the printer works. For information on media
specifications, see “Specifications” on page 32.
