CHARGING YOUR PRINTSTIK

Electrical Connectivity

The PrintStik has an internal rechargeable battery. This gives the mobility to
print without any connection to an external power source. The PrintStik can
only function if the battery has a charge. There are two main options to
how it can be charged discussed below:

Connecting to an AC Outlet

The PrintStik has the ability to connect to a typical wall outlet (AC) via the
included wall charger. When connected the PrintStik battery symbol and
“Z” symbol lights will turn on (see page 8 for more information). This
signifies the charging of the PrintStik. It takes one hour and twenty minutes
for a full charge. See the picture below for clarification:

This button can turn the PrintStik on or off. Turning the PrintStik on
requires holding the button down for three seconds. After this brief period
the button can be released. At this point, the “Operating Status Light” and
“Printing Status Light” will light up signifying the PrintStik is on and
operational.

When turning PrintStik off, the power button would need to be
pressed down firmly for another three seconds. Once the button is released,
