Unpacking the Printer
The printer comes packaged with two rolls of supply (one
already loaded in the printer), a battery (included with
select printers), a belt clip, and a plug-in charger
(included with select printers).
Programming Information
You may need to refer to the
included on the CD-ROM. It provides an explanation of
how to use the printer's command language.
Programmer's Manual
Duty Cycle
The 9430R printer is designed to print up to 1000 inches
per day. The average print rate is 1 inch every 10
seconds at a text character print density of 25% (i.e., one
character printed out of every four positions). Bar codes
and graphics are more dense (print with more dots) than
text and may need a lower duty cycle. In high
temperature environments, pause the printer for one
minute after every four (4) inches printed. If the duty
cycle is exceeded, the printer may not print all of the
information that was sent to it.

Battery and Safety Information
The printer is powered by a 6.0V Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) battery.
♦ Charging time in the printer is approximately
1.5 hours.
♦ Take the battery out of the printer when storing the
printer for long periods of time.
♦ The battery storage temperature is 40°F to 104°F
(4°C to 40°C). Do not store a fully charged battery
at temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) for long
periods of time. The battery may permanently lose
charge capacity.
♦ Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long
or battery-intensive printing sessions. Certain
operations (for example, printing receipts with a lot
of bar codes and graphics or using Bluetooth) drain
the battery more quickly than others.
♦ Disposal information – Do not throw in trash.
Dispose according to your local regulations or
recycle the battery. Batteries can also be returned
postage-paid to: ERC; 200 Monarch Lane Door
#39; Miamisburg, OH 45342.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat
above 80°C, or incinerate. The
battery may explode.
♦ The recommended temperature for charging is
68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C).
NOTE: Optimal battery performance is achieved after
using the battery until it is completely drained
and recharged five times.

printer as
shown.
2. Insert the plugin charger into
an electrical
outlet.
Charging time is approximately 1.5 hours.
Using the AC Adapter
Some printers use an AC adapter, which
allows you to use the printer while it is
plugged into a wall outlet. Using the AC
adapter eliminates the need to charge the
battery, since the printer operates on AC
current instead.
1. Connect the plug to the AC adapter.
2. Plug the cable into the socket located
on the side of the printer.
3. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical
outlet.
