GETTING STARTED

The Monarch® Sierra Sport4™ 9493™ printer is a portable thermal direct and thermal transfer
printer that prints on tags, labels, or receipt paper.

Before using the printer, review the safety information in the Regulatory Compliance document
provided with your printer.

Information in this document supercedes information in previous versions. Check our Web site
for the latest documentation and release information.

A Packet Reference manual and System Administrator’s Guide are available on our Web site.

Printer Utilities

The Monarch® MPCLTM Toolbox utilities (version 1.13 and higher) are also available on our Web
site and are free to download. This group of development utilities helps you configure the
printer, customize fonts, and download files.

Unpacking the Printer

After you unpack the printer, you may have the following (depending on your order). If any items
are missing, contact us at the number listed on the back of this manual for replacement items.

♦ a 9493 printer

♦ one or more batteries

♦ a battery charger / AC power adapter

♦ a shoulder or hand strap

♦ one or more communications cables

♦ a fan-fold core (for printing fan-fold supplies)

♦ a Quick Reference

Note: Look through all of the packaging material for items. Keep all packaging material in

case you need to move or return the printer.

Getting Started 1-1

About the Printer’s Power

There are two ways to power the printer:

♦ Using a battery. See "Installing and Removing the Battery" for more information.

♦ Using the AC power adapter. Refer to the 9496™ Operating Instructions included with the

charger/adapter for more information.

Installing & Removing the Battery

You must charge the battery before using it for the first time.

To install the battery:

1. Review the safety information in the Regulatory Compliance document included with your
printer.

2. Turn off the printer when you change batteries.

3. Lay the printer down so the back of the printer faces up.

4. Remove the plastic from a new battery.

5. Slide the battery into the battery well in the bottom of the printer until it latches into place.

Battery and Safety Information

♦ You must charge a battery before using it. For optimal battery life, charge the battery within

three months of receipt.

WARNING: Use only the Monarch® 9496™ charger/adapter designed for Lithium-ion batteries

when charging. The battery might explode if used with a different charger. Refer to
the Operating Instructions provided with the charger/adapter for more information.

♦ The optimal battery storage temperature is -4°F - 104°F

(-20°C - 40°C). For more information about storage temperatures, see Appendix A,
“Specifications.” The battery may lose its charge capacity permanently if stored at
temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the
battery should be stored in a cool, dry place.

♦ Prolonged storage or operation of a fully-charged battery above 104°F (40°C) may cause a

permanent battery capacity loss of up to 10%.

♦ The recommended temperature for charging is 32°F - 104°F

(0°C - 40°C)

♦ Charging time is approximately 1 to 3 hours.

♦ Recycling Information - Do not throw in trash. Recycle to your local regulations. The

Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC®) is a non-profit organization created to
promote recycling of rechargeable batteries. For more information about how to recycle
batteries in your area, visit www.rbrc.org. Batteries can also be returned postage-paid to:
ERC; 200 Monarch Lane Door #39; Miamisburg, OH 45342.

Caution: Do not disassemble, short-circuit, heat above 122°F (50°C),

or incinerate the battery. It may explode.

♦ The battery should be charged immediately for either long-term storage or after the battery

has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent charging prolongs battery life and has
no negative effects, such as memory loss.

♦ Do not let the battery get wet or come into contact with metal objects.

♦ Do not use a battery with a cracked case.

♦ It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first

400 - 600 cycles of use.

♦ The printer uses battery power even when the printer is not printing. Remove the printer's

battery when the printer is not in use for a week or longer.

♦ Many factors affect your battery's performance, including the quantity of labels printed,

intervals of batches printed, percentage of black per label, and power management.

Getting Started 1-3

Connecting the Communications Cables

the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

2. Plug the DB9 connector into the DB9 port.

3. Place the cable into one of the cable cavities.

4. Close the cable door and tighten the screws.

To connect USB cables:

1. Open the hinged cable door on the side of the printer by loosening
the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

This chapter explains how to

♦ clear label jams.

♦ clean the printhead, platen roller, and supply sensors.

Caution: Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead with your

fingers. This may damage the printhead and require a service charge.

Clearing Label Jams

When you are printing and a jam occurs, a supply error message appears. To clear the jam:

1. Turn off the printer by pressing P.

2. Open the printer and remove the supply roll.

3. Use your fingers to remove the jammed supplies. Do not use sharp objects to remove

jammed supplies. This may damage the printer.

4. Clean the printhead and platen roller to remove any adhesive.
See “Cleaning” for more information.

5. Reload supplies and close the printer.

6. Turn on the printer by pressing P.

Cleaning

Your printing rate and frequency determines how often you must clean the printer.

You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller

♦ after using seven to ten (7-10) rolls of supplies.

♦ when you replace the ribbon.

♦ in extreme temperatures, humid conditions or a dirty environment.

♦ when you see voids in the print.

♦ after a label jam.

You may have to clean the supply sensors more often if you receive supply error messages
frequently.

Use any of the following items to clean the printhead:

♦ A clean, soft cloth.

♦ A cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

Caution: Use isopropyl alcohol on the interior areas only, never on the exterior. Do not use

household cleaners to clean the printer.

♦ A Cleaning Pen (order part number 114226).

To clean the printhead, platen roller, and supply sensors:

Voids in print

1. Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before cleaning the printer. Grounding prevents
electrostatic discharge, which may damage the printhead.

2. Turn off the printer.

3. Open the printer and remove the ribbon cassette and any supplies.

Note: Do not use sharp objects to remove adhesive or label particles from the printer.
