Replacing the Battery

Your Handheld Printer Terminal uses two types of battery: a battery pack and a memory backup battery. A battery pack (DT-9723LIC) is used for the main battery. A backup battery is housed inside the Handheld Printer Terminal.

This guide uses the following terms to refer to the batteries.

Battery Pack: Rechargeable battery pack for normal operations and data storage Backup Battery: Built-in battery for memory backup

When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a charged battery pack. For information how to charge battery pack, see pages 49, 56 and 60.

Replacing the Battery Pack

Important!

Always keep backup copies of all important data!

• The main battery powers normal operation and also provides power required to maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the main battery while the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep separate backup copies of all important data.

• The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it.

• The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.

• A fully charged backup battery can maintain memory (RAM) contents for about 10 minutes, even when the main battery is removed.

• The backup battery achieves a full charge in about four days when the battery pack is loaded.

E-22

To replace the battery pack

1. Make sure that the Handheld Printer Terminal is turned off.

If the power is on, press the power key to turn it off.

2. Turn the battery pack cover lock switch on the side of the Handheld Printer Terminal to the “FREE” position.

3. Open the battery pack cover.

4. Remove the battery pack.

Press down the battery pack eject button (see the arrow).

Remove the battery pack by pulling on the tape.

5. Install a charged battery pack in the Handheld Printer Terminal. Make sure the battery pack is aligned correctly when you install it.

E-23

Replacing the Battery

6. Return the battery pack cover to its original position as shown in the illustration, and then turn the battery pack cover lock switch to the “LOCK” position.

Important!

• When replacing the battery pack, make sure you do not leave the Handheld Printer Terminal without a battery pack for more than about 10 minutes. Doing so can cause data in the memory to be deleted.

• Never try to use other type of battery than the one that is specified for this product.

E-24

Using the Printer

Precautions When Using Printer

Printing Accuracy

1. During high-duty printing such as printing horizontal lines or printing while the battery remaining capacity is low, the printing speed may slow down to prevent excess current consumption that may cause unaligned printing for one dot or more.

2. Line change errors may occur if the printing interval between lines is about one second or more. In the case of using formed sheet paper, either use a large frame with free spaces available or set the printer to continuously print to prevent the line change errors.

3. Because printing may pause if the battery remaining capacity is low, line alignment error or printing with uneven space between characters may occur when printing resumes later.

4. Printing may be illegible right after the roll paper cover has been opened for reloading roll paper. This can be prevented by feeding the roll paper before starting printing again.

5. The printer will not print unless the paper is loaded properly. Always make sure to properly load the paper before starting printing.

6. Only use the recommended printer paper. Use of paper other than the recommended printer paper can reduce printing quality, shorten printer service life or cause other detrimental effects that have the risk of impairing printer characteristics.

7. Observe the following when storing printer paper.

• Do not store paper in locations subject to high temperature and high humidity since

spontaneous coloring of the paper occurs at temperatures of 60°C (140°F) and above.

• Store paper in a cool, dark location while avoiding excessive exposure to direct

sunlight.

• Plastic films containing plasticizers, ester-based erasers, tape and glue can cause

discoloration, while contact with organic solvents, diazo copy paper or scratching with the fingernail, etc. can cause the paper to become colored.

E-38

Others

1. The temperature range for printing with 2-ply paper and label paper is 5 to 35°C.

2. Once the end mark of the paper appears, promptly replace with new paper.

3. Recommended paper: Use only specified papers by CASIO.

4. Paper scraps may accumulate and printing quality may decrease when the printer has been used for a long period of time. The thermal head must be cleaned when this happens. Contact your nearest CASIO distributor or an authorized CASIO service provider to have cleaning performed.

5. Printing quality may decrease when the surrounding temperature becomes excessively low.

6. If once the printer is set for 58 mm width paper, it cannot be changed again for 80mm width paper.

7. Load paper in the printer when not using for a long period of time to prevent damage to printer components.

Important!

• Do not touch the thermal head during or immediately after printing.

E-39

Magnetic Card Reader

The Magnetic Card Reader comes as standard with IT-3100M54E/M55E/M55U/M75E. Only use cards that are compatible with the ISO standards. The procedure for reading cards is described below.

1. Remove the cover as shown in the illustration.

2. Insert the card all the way into the reader as shown in the illustration, and steadily pass the card through the reader in the direction of the arrow.

Precautions During Use

• Cards may not be able to be read if they are passed through the reader rapidly.

• A reading error may occur if the speed at which the card is passed through the

reader changes suddenly.

• Do not allow magnets to come in close proximity to the magnetic card since this can prevent data on the card from being read. In addition, do not stack magnetic cards on top of each other.

• Cards that have been excessively misshaped or bent may not be able to be read.

• Soiling of the magnetic strip may make it difficult to read the card. If a card has

become soiled, wipe with a clean and soft cloth.

• Regularly clean the magnetic card reader by passing a cleaning card through the reader to prevent excessive friction with cards. When using in a location where there are low levels of dust, clean once a week or about once every 500 passes through the card reader.

• Install the cover when not using the magnetic card reader. The drip-proof of the magnetic card reader is not sufficient if the cover is not installed.
