Preventive Maintenance
WARNING: To avoid possible personal injury or
damage to the printer, never insert any pointed or sharp
objects into the printer.
Extending Battery Life
•Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or tempera-
tures over 104° F (40° C).
• Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for Li-
thium-Ion batteries. Use of any other kind of charger may
damage the battery.
•Choose the media that is easiest to “burn.” An authorized
Zebra re-seller can help you determine the optimum me-
dia for your application.
• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, con-
sider using a pre-printed label.
•Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for
your media.
•Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possi-
ble.
• Select Tear-Off mode whenever possible (Peel-Off mode
uses more power).
• If your printer has the optional LCD display: Use the dis-
play backlight only when necessary. Turn it off whenever
it is not needed. The LCD backlight consumes a great
deal of power.
• Pull the battery out of the printer if the printer won’t be
used for a day or more and you’re not performing a main-
tenance charge.
•Consider purchasing an extra battery.
•Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its abili-
ty to maintain a charge over time. It can only be re-
charged a finite number of times before it must be re-
placed.
