• "Loading media" on page 7

• "Printing a self-test" on page 8

• "Configuring the printer" on page 10

In addition to the steps outlined in each section, additional

information may be included if it applies to, or expands upon, the step being discussed.

Unpacking your printer

Before using your new printer, remove all packaging material

and inspect the printer for possible shipping damage.

If the printer has been damaged:

• Contact the shipping company and file a damage report.

• Contact Datamax-O’Neil.

• Keep all shipping materials.

Removing the battery isolator

The battery is already installed in new printers. An insulating

strip (battery isolator) prevents accidental discharge during shipping. You must remove the battery isolator before using the printer or attempting to charge its battery.

1. Press the printhead cover release and open the printer.

Locate the battery isolator (see Figure 5).

2. Lift out the battery and battery isolator (Figure 6). Remove

and discard the battery isolator.

3. Insert the battery in the printer in its original orientation,

as shown in Figure 7.

4. Close the printer.

ETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

Installing/removing the battery

Note:

The battery is already installed in new printers. See "Removing the battery isolator" on page 2 for information on enabling the battery in a new printer.

Installing the battery

1. Press the printhead cover release and open the printer, as

shown in Figure 8.

2. Remove any packaging material (if applicable).

3. Position the battery with its contacts facing toward the

battery cavity, as shown in Figure 9.

4. Lower the battery into the battery cavity, fitting the

contact end of the battery into the cavity first, as shown in Figure 10.

5. Slide the battery all the way to the right in the battery

cavity so that the edge of the battery hits the battery stop, as shown in Figure 11. The printer beeps one time when you install the battery. Figure 12 shows the fully seated battery.

Figure9

OC-2 SERIES OF PRINTERS USER'S GUIDE

Note: Do not force the battery into the battery cavity. When inserted properly, the battery easily slides and locks into place. If the battery does not easily slide into place, re-insert the battery.

6. Close the printer cover (Figure 13).

7. Charge the battery (batteries are shipped uncharged). For

more information, see "Charging the battery" on page 4.

Removing the battery

1. Lift the battery up and out of the battery cavity while

sliding it to the left (Figure 14).

2. Remove the battery from the battery cavity (Figure 15).

Charging the battery

The battery status LED will glow red if the battery charge is

low and the printer is powered on. (For more information, see "Using the control panel" on page 12.) Charge the battery as follows:

1. Verify the battery is installed correctly.

Figure13

Figure11

Figure12

Figure14

Figure15

ETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

2. Plug the AC adapter power cord into an appropriate power

source.

3. Plug the AC adapter into the printer power port (Figure

16).

4. Charge the battery. The battery status LED flashes red

while the battery is charging and turns solid green when the battery is fully charged. One complete charge takes 4 to 5 hours.

Determining the battery condition

The battery voltage varies between 6.2 and 8.4 volts. While the battery is powering the printer (AC adapter not connected), the battery status LED displays the battery condition as follows:

•

Solid Green

: The battery is fully charged.

•

Solid Orange

: The battery is partially discharged, but will

power the printer. Plan on recharging the battery soon.

•

Solid Red

: The battery does not have sufficient charge to

operate the printer. Recharge it immediately.

For information on battery error conditions, see "Using the control panel" on page 12.

Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Caution: The operating temperature of this portable printer is

50° C. However, the operating temperature when used with

Datamax-O’Neil power supply for charging the portable printer is

Power port

Figure16

Battery status

OC-2 SERIES OF PRINTERS USER'S GUIDE

limited to 40° C. Please charge the printer in a suitable location that meets this temperature requirement.

Caution: (For US/Canada) Please only use the Datamax-O’Neil part number 220240-100 power supply with this product.

Loading media

The OC-2 series of printers are designed to print receipt paper and label media, as follows:

Media Guidelines

Media width

Receipt Paper: 2.25” Label Media: 2.25”

Roll capacity diameter

Receipt Paper: 2.25” Label Media: 2.25”

Media types

Receipt paper media, thermal paper.

* Depending on the type of media used, you may need to configure your printer. For more information, see "Configuring the printer" on page 10.

Load media as follows:

1. Position the printer so that the Datamax-O’Neil logo is

facing you (Figure 18).

2. Press the printhead release and open the printer (Figure

19).

3. Place the paper roll between the paper roll holders, as

shown in Figure 20. Make sure the paper exits over the roll and is firmly in place.

4. Unroll enough paper so that paper exits the printer (Figure

21).

5. Verify the media exits straight and is against the right-

hand edge.

Figure18

Figure19

OC-2 SERIES OF PRINTERS USER'S GUIDE

6. Close the printer (Figure 22). The printhead cover snaps

into place when completely closed.

7. Push the Media Function button 1-2 times to align the

media.

8. At either edge of the printer cover are serrated corners.

Tear the media by pulling up and away from the printer (Figure 24).

Warning: The tear bar and printhead cover surface may be hot and/or sharp. Use caution when handling the printhead and tear bar.

Printing a self-test

1. Press and hold the power button for approximately three

(3) seconds until printing begins. For information on button functions, see "Using the control panel" on page 12.

2. After printing begins, release the power button. A self-test

label will print showing parameters, as described on page

10.

ETTING UP YOUR PRINTER

Connecting the printer via a cable or radio

The OC-2 printer is designed to transmit and receive data from a host terminal. The host terminal may be your computer, handheld, or laptop. Communication can occur using one of the following methods:

• Using a data cable to connect the printer and the host

terminal (this page), or

• Enabling wireless communication (see "Bluetooth and/or

802.11b parameters" on page 10).

Installing a data cable

1. Verify the printer settings before connecting the printer to

a host terminal. For more information, see "Printing a selftest" on page 8.

2. Insert the data cable plug into the printer's data port

(Figure 26).

Figure 25 Figure 26

3. Connect the data cable to the host or device you are using.

Removing a data cable

1. Rotate the printer so that the printer's data port is visible.

2. Lift the cable connector's lever and remove the cable.

Bluetooth and/or 802.11b parameters

Your printer is configured with default factory settings. To determine your printer's radio configuration, print a self-test (For more information, see "Printing a self-test" on page 8). If you have multiple printers, configure them specifically for use in your environment.

Data port

upgrade firmware, download the latest Windows configuration program from our Internet Web site at www.datamaxoneil.com.

SING THE BELT CLIP

Using the belt clip

Install the belt clip as follows:

1. Turn the printer so that its back faces you and the belt clip

socket is up, as shown in Figure 27.

2. Place the belt clip over the belt clip socket such that the

flat side of the belt clip swivel matches the flat side of the belt clip socket (Figure 28).

3. Press the belt clip onto the printer until the swivel is fully

seated into the socket.

4. Rotate the belt clip 180 degrees to lock it into place

(Figure 29 and Figure 30).

Reverse the above steps to remove the belt clip.
