• Installing Batteries on page 3
• Loading Printable Media on page 7
• Printing a Self-Test on page 12
• Connecting the Printer on page 12

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 the 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.

4. Position the battery with its contacts facing up. The
battery contacts should face toward the back of the battery
cavity (Figure 7).
5. Insert the battery into the battery cavity. The printer beeps
one time when the first battery is installed.
Do not force the battery into the battery cavity. When
inserted properly, the battery easily slides into place and
the silver battery tab “locks” the battery (Figure 8). If the
battery does not easily slide into place, re-align the battery
based on step 2 above.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 to install the additional battery. Both
batteries must be installed for your printer to operate
properly
.
7. Charge the batteries (batteries are shipped uncharged). For
more information, see
Charging the Batteries on page 5
Removing Batteries
1. Lift the silver battery tab (Figure 9). If the battery does not
completely eject, slightly tilt the printer toward you to
remove the battery.
