Set Battery Condition
Description: There are two low battery voltage levels sensed by the PA/PT400™
printers. When battery voltage goes below the first level, the green LED begins
flashing as a warning but printing will continue. When this warning occurs, it is good
practice to recharge the battery.
As printing continues, a second low voltage level will be reached. At this point, both
green and orange LEDs will flash as a warning, and printing will pause
automatically.
When “Pause on Low Voltage” is selected (Y), and the battery voltage level falls
below the second “low voltage” level, printing pauses and an error condition is
displayed as an indication that the printer should be plugged into the battery charger.
By pressing the FEED key, printing will continue on a label-by-label basis, but there
is a high risk of losing label format information due to the continued decrease of
battery voltage.
When “Pause on Low Voltage” is deselected (N), and the battery voltage level falls
below the second “low voltage” level, printing will continue and the orange LED
will remain off. If the battery voltage continues to decrease, label information could
be lost and the printer could stop operation. This option should be selected only
when the printer is connected to the Car Battery Adapter. The printer may from time
to time sense that battery voltage is below the first low voltage level. But, due to the
continuous recharging of the car battery, the further loss of battery voltage is not a
concern and printing will continue.
If this option is not selected when using the Car Battery Adapter, the user may need
to press the FEED key to un-pause the printer and print each label.
Format: ~JFp
Parameters:
p = pause on low voltage
Accepted Values: Y (pause on low voltage) or N (do not pause). N is
suggested when the printer is powered by the car battery adapter.
Default Value: Y
