Tips on Using the Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery 1

 Charge the rechargeable Ni-MH battery

immediately after purchase. Do not use it before it is charged.

 The rechargeable Ni-MH battery loses its

charge gradually over time, even if it is not used. Therefore, we recommend charging the rechargeable Ni-MH battery before using it.

 While the printer is connected to an AC or

DC power outlet, a small amount of current is used to charge the rechargeable Ni-MH battery. This is called “trickle charging”. Trickle charging compensates for the battery’s tendency to gradually discharge. For this reason, we recommend connecting the printer to an AC or DC power outlet even if a rechargeable Ni-MH battery is installed.

 Darker prints discharge the rechargeable

Ni-MH battery faster than lighter prints. Adjust the print density setting in the printer driver’s dialog box (see Setting Printer Driver Options on page 21) or in PJ-600 Series Utility (see Print Density on page 34).

 If you are experiencing problems with the

rechargeable Ni-MH battery, try refreshing the battery before deciding to replace it.

If the Printer Will Not be Used For a Long Period of Time

 If the printer will not used for a long period

of time, remove the rechargeable Ni-MH battery from the printer and store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

 A rechargeable Ni-MH battery that is not

used for a long period of time may become over-discharged or inactive. For this reason, we recommend refreshing and

charging the rechargeable Ni-MH battery every 3 to 6 months.

 For other precautions, refer to the

instruction manual included with the rechargeable Ni-MH battery.

Setting Up the Printer

Explaining Battery Terms 1

 Discharge

Discharge occurs when the rechargeable Ni-MH battery's power is depleted. The battery discharges slowly over time, even when the battery is not in use. When the battery has been fully-discharged, it cannot be used until it is recharged.

 Refresh

Refresh occurs when the printer fully discharges the rechargeable Ni-MH battery so that the battery can be recharged to its full capacity. To refresh the battery, press and hold the

(Power) button for a few seconds until the POWER indicator begins to blink in green and orange (see Refresh Ni-MH Battery on page 32 for more options).

 Over-discharge

Over-discharge occurs when the rechargeable Ni-MH battery's power has been depleted to the point that even when charged, it will not retain as much power as before. To avoid over-discharging the battery, charge it periodically.

Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (Optional)

Installing the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 1

a Open the battery cover by pressing the

cover latch.

1 Battery cover

2 Cover latch

b Swing the cover open and remove it.

 Inactivity

Inactivity is the condition when the rechargeable Ni-MH battery has been unused for too long, and it cannot retain as much power as before. The battery can be restored to its earlier capacity by refreshing it one or two times. If more than one year has passed since the battery was last use, it will not return to its earlier capacity.

 Trickle charge

Trickle charge is the small amount of power used to charge the rechargeable Ni-MH battery whenever the printer is connected to AC or DC power. The battery slowly discharges (loses power) over time, even when not in use. Trickle charging offsets this discharge, so that the battery remains charged.

c Move the slide switches on the

rechargeable Li-ion battery inward, and then insert the battery into the battery compartment.

d Move the slide switches outward to lock

the battery in place.

The voltage supplied by the rechargeable Li-ion battery fluctuates. The printing speed may also fluctuate depending on the voltage.

Removing the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Move the slide switches on the rechargeable Li-ion battery inward, and then remove the battery from the printer.

Li-ion Battery 1

The rechargeable Li-ion battery can be charged while it is inserted in the printer and also while it is removed from the printer.

Perform the following procedure to charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery.

• Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery immediately after purchase using the following procedure.

• Up to 180 minutes is needed to fully charge a rechargeable Li-ion battery. About 300 pages can be printed when using a new, fully-charged rechargeable Li-ion battery.

charged, the battery indicator turns off.

Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 1

 Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery

immediately after purchase. Do not use it before it is charged.

 Darker prints discharge the rechargeable

Li-ion battery faster than lighter prints. Adjust the print density setting in the printer driver’s dialog box (see Setting Printer Driver Options on page 21) or in PJ-600 Series Utility (see Print Density on page 34).

 Unlike the rechargeable Ni-MH battery,

battery refreshing and trickle charging are not necessary when using the rechargeable Li-ion battery

 The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging

can take place in 32F-104F (0C-40C) environments. Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery in an environment in this temperature range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this range, the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.

Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging

To stop rechargeable Li-ion battery charging, disconnect the AC power cord or DC cable from the battery’s AC/DC connector.

 If the printer is used when both the

rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and the AC adapter or DC cable is connected, the auto power off function will turn off the printer after the specified amount of time (see Auto Power Off(AC/DC/Li-ion) on page 32) passes, after which the rechargeable Li-ion battery will be charged. When 180 minutes (max.) have passed since the printer was turned

on, the battery indicator turns off and charging stops.

 If the printer is used when both the

rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and the AC adapter or DC cable is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.

Chapter 1

 When charging the rechargeable Li-ion

battery while the DC cable is connected, the amount of voltage required to fully charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery may not be supplied by the DC power outlet. When 180 minutes (max.) have passed since charging started, the battery indicator turns off and charging stops even if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics

Understanding the properties of the rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to optimize its usage.

 Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion

battery in a location exposed to high or low temperatures may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge (charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures will considerably accelerate battery deterioration.

 Using the printer while the rechargeable

Li-ion battery is installed and charging may accelerate the battery’s deterioration. If using the printer when the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed, disconnect the AC adapter or DC cable.

 Try to fully discharge the rechargeable

Li-ion battery before charging it.

 If the printer will not be used for a long

period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion battery from the printer when its charge is 50% or less, and then store the battery in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

 If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not

be used for a long period of time, we recommend charging it every 6 months.

 For other precautions, refer to the

instruction manual included with the rechargeable Li-ion battery.
