This printer has a built in low battery detector. When the printer’s battery voltage is low, the printer beeps three times, indicating a Low Battery Warning. This only happens if the printer is
awake.
Paper Loading
Out of Paper
The PB20 Printer sounds two quick beeps when it runs out of
paper. If the printer is out of paper, the printer suspends operation until paper is present and the lever is down. The printer
continues to communicate with the mobile computer as long as
it does not “time out.” Once the printer restarts, it finishes the
rest of the print job from where it left off.
Removing Paper Core from your PB20 Printer
1 Unsnap the latch and lift up the cover.
2 Wrap your index finger around the empty paper core and pull
up. The paper rod will snap out.
3 Remove the empty paper core and discard.
Paper Loading
Standard Paper
If you are using standard paper, you can load the paper automatically or manually. Experiment to find out which method is
best for you.
Linered Labels
If you are using linered paper, it is best to use the manual paper
loading method.
Automatic Paper Loading
1 Press the red self test button to wake the printer.
2 With the loose, clean edge of the paper coming from the bot-
tom of the roll, insert the edge of the paper between the roller
and the platen.
3 Push the button again while the printer is awake causes the
mechanism to feed about 1” of paper.
4 Insert the paper into the paper well with it resting on the pa-
per rod clips.

Manual Paper Loading
1 Lift up the paper release lever. This takes the pressure off the
platen. Make sure you have a clean edge on the new paper
roll.
2 Take the edge of the paper and fold it 45 degrees.
3 Insert the tip of the paper between the roller and the platen.
4 Push on the paper until the tip is peeking out the other side.
(If it seems too tight to insert the tip, lift up the paper release
lever and turn the gear to advance the paper).
5 Grab the tip and pull it through until the paper is straight.
6 Push down the paper release lever and insert the paper into
the paper well with it resting in the paper rod clips.
7 Press the red button while the printer is on and it will feed
paper. You will need about 2 inches of paper coming out of
the mechanism.
