Kill Battery (Battery Discharge Mode)
Description: In order to maintain performance of the rechargeable battery of the
portable printers, the battery must be fully discharged and recharged regularly. The
~KB command places the printer in battery discharge mode to allow for draining the
battery without actually printing.
Format: ~KB
Comments: While the printer is in discharge mode, the green power LED will flash
in groups of three flashes.
The discharge mode may be terminated by sending a printing format to the printer or
by pressing either of the front panel buttons.
If the battery charger is plugged into the printer, the battery will be recharged
automatically once the discharge process is completed.
The ~KB command is only supported by the PA-Series and PT-Series printers.
