Never open the tape compartment cover while printing is in progress.
x
(page 12)
Do not touch the tape coming out of the printer until it is automatically cut or
x
until printing is complete.
Avoid allowing tape cuttings to pile up around the printer tape outlet.
x
Tape cuttings around the tape outlet creates the risk of tap jamming and
malfunction.
■
Cutting Types
The printer can perform two types of cutting.
Half Cut
x
Half Cut cuts only the sticker part of
the tape without cutting the backing
paper. This means you can peel labels
from the backing paper as you need
them.
Full Cut

Part 10 - Reference
Battery Life
Under normal conditions, a set of new batteries can supply enough power
to print labels for approximately two 18mm tape cartridges.
x
Battery life can be extended by disabling the display backlight (page 54).
x
Printing labels with large amounts of black text or images, low ambient
temperatures, and storing the printer for a long time with batteries
loaded can all shorten battery life.
x
Even if you do not use the printer, you should replace the batteries at
least once every two years.
Power Requirements
Your printer can be powered using the specifi ed AC adaptor or by
commercially available alkaline batteries.
Before using the printer, be sure to read the information under "Safety
x
Precautions" (pages 4 through 7).
Powering the Printer with Batteries
Use eight commercially available AA-size alkaline batteries to power the
printer.
Use a full set of eight new alkaline batteries. Use of mixing old batteries with
x
new ones can result in a mismatch between the battery characteristics and
printer specifi cations, making batteries go dead before their normal service
life and causing malfunction of the printer.
1.
Remove the battery cover on the
back of the printer.
Do not try to force the battery cover
too far open or otherwise apply
undue force. Doing so can lead to
malfunction.
2.
Load the batteries.
Make sure the plus (+) and minus
(-) ends of each battery are facing in
the proper directions.
3.
Close the battery cover.
Important!
Batteries lose capacity at temperatures below 10°C, which can tend to
x
cause the message
printer display.
Use the printer in a location within the operating temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C.
Do not disconnect the AC adaptor or remove batteries from the printer while
x
printer power is turned on. After turning off power, wait until the display
goes blank before disconnecting the AC adaptor or removing batteries.
Otherwise, temporarily stored text, text stored in printer memory, user
characters, copied text, or printer settings may be deleted.
If you are operating the printer under battery power and wish to connect or
x
disconnect the AC adaptor, be sure to fi rst turn off printer power. Connecting
or disconnecting with printer power on can cause it to turn off and delete
unsaved text you are working on.
