1. Printer operation
1.1. Battery charging
When the printer is first delivered there may be little or no charge in the print’s batteries.
The printer should be turned off, connected to the charge and allowed to charge for 16 hours before it
is fused for the first time
It is recommended to connect the printer to the charger and recharge the batteries as soon as the
Status LED indicates LOW battery (see table STATUS LED)
If the batteries in the printer become exhausted, printing will become faint, erratic or not possible at all.
Turn OFF the printer and recharge the batteries for at least 15 minutes before attempting further
printing.
The charger cannot supply the full power requirements for the printer during printing, so the batteries
must be partially charged before printing is possible
The printer should only be used in conjunction with the correct charger
The use of an unapproved source may void the printer’s warranty
1.2. Power ON Procedure
Check the batteries are sufficiently charged.
Open the paper cup lid by pulling the central lever upwards and forwards from its locked position.
To avoid damage do not use excessive force.
Ensure that a paper roll (ref: HL705-3) is present and that there are not foreign objects inside the
paper reservoir.
Close the lid by applying equal amounts of pressure on each side of the lid until is in the locked
position. The paper should emerge from the printer over the tear bar
When the Status indicator is OFF, the printer is OFF
A brief press of the Mode Button turns the printer ON, the Status indicator will illuminate and the
printer mechanism will reset.
A brief press of the Mode button will turn the printer OFF. When the printer is asleep, pressing the
Mode Button will wake up the printer.

Status LED. Use the Mode button to feed through the last few centimetres of paper and fit a new roll
as described below
2.4. Head Thermal Limit
After extensive printer the printer head temperature may raise to an unusable level. The status LED
will report when this occurs, and printing will be suspended until the head temperature returns to
normal levels
2.5. Replacing Paper Roll
When the paper roll needs replacing, open the paper cup led and remove the spool and any remaining
paper. Reel off a few centimetres from a new roll of paper. Hold approximatively 5 cm of paper outside
the printer, place the new roll into the paper reservoir with the paper feeding from paper cup lid until
the lid is in the locked position.
