Chapter 1 — Safety Information

Important Safety Requirements

The PrinterPad Series has been carefully designed to provide many years of
safe, reliable performance. As with all types of electrical equipment, however,
there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the equipment:

• Carefully read the provided installation and operating instructions.

• Read and follow all warning instruction labels on the printer.

• Place the printer on a flat, firm, solid surface.

• Make sure all openings on the printer remain unblocked; never insert

anything into the openings or ventilation slots.

• Do not place the printer near a heat source.

• Do not use your printer near water or spill liquid into it.

• Be certain that your power source matches a listed voltage rating for the

printer (if unsure, check with your dealer or local utility company).

• Do not place the power cord where it can be stepped on and, if the power
cord becomes damaged, immediately replace it.

• If service is required, use only qualified trained technicians to repair your
printer.

How to Use the Batteries

The printer ships with two batteries installed, but they are not operational.
Before operating the printer, remove the two red battery isolator labels either by
gently pulling the labels out or by lifting the batteries up.

If you are storing your printer for a long period of time or shipping it, reinstall the
battery isolator labels. Both batteries must be installed for your printer to
operate properly.

Install and Replace Batteries

1 Open the printer by unsnapping the latch on the front of the case.

Chapter 2 — Printer Basics

2 Lift the battery cover upward by pushing the retainer clip inward with your

finger.

3 Lift up the outside end of the battery to remove it.

4 Insert the new batteries. Verify the battery contacts are facing down and are

facing the outside edge of the printer.

Contacts

5 Close the battery cover by snapping it into place.

PrintPAD Series CN70/70e & CN51 User Guide 7

Chapter 2 — Printer Basics

Charge the Batteries and Mobile Computer

If the battery is low when the printer “wakes up,” the printer sounds three short
beeps.

1 Remove the red battery isolator labels, if necessary.

2 Plug the power supply connector into the printer’s external DC power port.

The DC power port is located on the side of the printer’s case.

DC power port (Input voltage: 12V 1.5A minimum)

DEX/UCS port

3 Plug the adapter into an appropriate power source.

The Charge LED flashes red when charging and flashes green when fully
charged. The Charge LED is visible when the printer's lid is open or closed. A
complete charge takes approximately 7 to 9 hours.

For more information on Charge LEDs, see “Status LEDs and Indicators” on
page 5.

Note: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery must cycle through two to
three charges. To restart a charge, unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds,
then replug the power cord. The mobile computer will charge while power is
plugged into the DC power port while properly seated in the mobile computer
cavity.

Do not plug DC power into the internal and external power ports at the
same time. Do not plug the DC power supply into the printer if the printer
is being charged by means of external charge contacts.

8 PrintPAD Series CN70/70e & CN51 User Guide

Determine Battery Condition

You can determine the relative battery condition by printing a self test. For more
information, see “Printing a Self-Test” on page 11. On the printout, “Battery Volt”
varies between 6.8 and 8.4 volts.

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of the used batteries according to the instructions. The maximum
operating temperature of the portable printer is 122 °F (50 °C). However,
the operating temperature when used with a Datamax-O’Neil by Honeywell
power supply for charging, the portable printer is limited to 104 °F (40 °C).
Charge the printer in a suitable location that meets this temperature
requirement.

(For U.S.A./Canada) Use only the Datamax-O’Neil by Honeywell part
number 220240-100 power supply with this product.

Chapter 3 — Printer Configuration

Establish a Printer Connection

A printer connection to your host PC must be established before proceeding to
setup the parameters of the printer. The connection is established through
various options included with the model you are using. Below provides the
setup based on your preferred connection type. Once connected, proceed with
“MFlash Configuration Utility” on page 18 for adjusting the settings and
parameters of the printer.

Setup Serial Connection

To setup a serial connection, an RJ-11-to-Serial interface cable is required
(optional).

1 Connect the RJ-11 connector to the PrintPAD printer. The port is located on

the top of the printer. The connector should click in-place once secured.

2 Connect the serial connector of the cable to your host computer’s serial port

or to the DB9 connector of the USB-to-Serial adapter cable. Then plug the
USB connector to an available USB port on the host Windows PC. The
printer will automatically assign the connection that was setup for the USB-to­Serial adapter.

Setup USB Connection

To connect the printer via USB connection, an Internet connection may
required. You may also need administrative access rights to your host computer
for completing this installation. If you do not have these access rights under
your profile, you will need to log off and log in under a profile that has the
administrative rights for your host computer.

To connect the printer to the host computer, a USB cable (P/N: 210267-000) is
required (optional).

To setup a USB connection on Windows OS 7.0, or later device:

1 Connect the RJ-11 end of the USB cable to the RS-232 port on the printer,

then power on the printer.

2 Connect the standard USB connector to an available USB port of the host

Windows PC. Your host computer should recognize the printer and begin
“Adding Device Driver.”

• If the setup does not start, locate the Devices and Printers section on
the Control Panel. Select “Add a Printer.” Once initiated, select the
printer model under Datamax-O’Neil Printers.

• If the model is not located, follow the steps to “Locate Driver thru
Windows Update.” Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Once completed, you should see the PrintPAD as an available printer
from your host PC.

3 The default setting will setup as a “CDC Composite” printer type.

16 PrintPAD Series CN70/70e & CN51 User Guide

Setup Bluetooth Connection

DEX/UCS Port: Use this illustration to locate the DEX/UCS port on the printer.

The direct exchange (DEX)/UCS port can only be used with the Datamax-
O’Neil by Honeywell-approved DEX cable (P/N: 210237-xxx).

When the DEX cable is plugged into the data port, the printer automatically
turns off to allow data transfer between the mobile computer and the DEX port.

Remove the DEX cable to resume normal connection to the printer.

Note: Do not unplug the cable in the middle of the data transfer session. Your
application needs to be programmed to communicate in the DEX/UCS
language.
