Chapter 1 — Using the PB50 Portable Label Printer
PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide 9
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 will not be using it
for three days or more.
• Do not operate the PB50 in extremely cold temperatures.
Using the PB50 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 PB50 printer.
The PB50 ships with a small amount of media loaded and a test
page printed to verify that the printer works. The PB50 supports
self-strip printing applications. See the second procedure for
information on how to correctly load media for self-strip
printing.
For information on media specifications, see Appendix A.
To load media
1 Press down on the blue media cover release button until the
cover releases.
