Installing the Time/Date

Battery

A time/date battery is provided as an accessory to be used for backing up the touch panel display time. The battery will maintain the settings for the internal clock. The battery 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.

(Battery insulation example)

If the clock is reset while power is supplied to the printer, replace this battery. When replacing the lithium battery, purchase a CR2032 battery (recommended manufacturers:

Hitachi Maxell, Ltd., FDK Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Sony Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and VARTA Microbattery Inc.).
