Installing the Time/Date Battery
A time/date battery is provided as an

will be consumed even if the printer is not
used for a long period of time.
Only use recommended batteries in
the printer. Other batteries may
cause damage to the printer.
Dispose of the battery at an
appropriate collection point, not in
the general waste stream. In
addition, be sure to observe all
applicable federal, state, and local
regulations.
When storing or discarding the
battery, wrap it (for example with
cellophane tape), to prevent it from
short-circuiting.

the touch panel display. The screws
previously installed in the printer are a
