Safety Information
Use Recommendations
• Because the printer uses a thermal printing method, it produces heat
during operation. Be sure to place it where it will receive adequate
ventilation.
• Don’t allow moisture to come in contact with the printer, the AC
adapter, or the AC power cord.
Outdoor Use Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this printer, its AC
adapter, or the power cord to rain or moisture.
Caution: Using AC Power
To use AC power (with or without the battery installed), you must use
the AC adapter supplied with the printer.
The AC adapter allows you to connect to worldwide (100-240 volt)
power outlets. The power cord supplied with the PocketJet
200/PocketJet II AC adapter is designed to fit many 115 volt outlets
and is shown below. The AC adapter automatically adjusts to the
correct voltage when connected.
Check the power plug configurations and voltages that are used in your
country. If you need a different plug or power cord, you can either
purchase a plug adapter locally, or contact your local reseller or Pentax
for assistance in procuring a proper cord set.
Page v
Unplug AC Cable when Printer is Not in Use
Always unplug the AC cable from the AC power outlet when you stop
using the printer or finish charging the battery. The transformer inside
the AC adapter generates heat while it is plugged in. Unplugging the
AC adapter extends its life.
Battery Recycling/Disposal Information
This printer can run on an optional rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride
(NiMH) battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life,
please consider recycling options (contact your local solid waste
officials) or proper disposal (see the paragraphs below). It may be
illegal under various state and local laws to dispose of the battery in
your solid waste collection.
The RBRC seal on the NiMH battery pack contained in the PocketJet
200/PocketJet II printer indicates that Pentax is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle these battery packs at the
end of their useful life, when taken out of service within the United
States. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to putting
spent NiMH battery packs into the trash or municipal waste stream,
which is illegal in some areas.
Pentax payments to RBRC makes it easy for you to drop the spent
battery pack at local retailers of replacement NiMH batteries or at
authorized Pentax product service centers. You may also contact your
local recycling center for information on where to return the spent
battery packs. The involvement of Pentax in this program is part of its
commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural
resources.
For users outside the United States
local solid waste official for information on recycling your used
batteries.

Ma i n S w i t c h F u n c t i o n s
Power ON:Push once quickly while the printer is OFF.
Power OFF:Push twice quickly.
NOTE: The printer automatically powers off when running under
battery power and if there has been no activity for 2 minutes
(no data received, no paper inserted, etc.) but only if the
auto-off timer is active. See p.38, Auto-Off Timer Feature.
Manual Form Feed:With power ON and paper inserted, press and
hold the main switch to feed (or eject) paper.
Charge the Battery:With the printer off, push the main switch and
hold it down for several seconds until the green BATTERY indicator
lights and stays lit. Press the main switch again and hold it until the
BATTERY indicator begins to blink. This bypasses the NiMH
discharging process and begins to charge the NiMH battery
immediately. The green battery indicator light blinks until charging is
complete.
To Power Off During Charge Mode:Push the main switch twice
quickly (same as when in normal operating mode).
Page 5
Indicator Lights
The three indicator lights—POWER, DATA, and BATTERY— show
both normal operation and error conditions.
• Red POWER light is steady: Power is on.
• Red POWER light is blinking: An error has occurred.
• Green DATA light is steady: Unprinted data is in the printer buffer or
a command has been received from the computer.
• Green DATA light is blinking: Printer is receiving data.
• Green BATTERY light is steady: The battery charge is high or the
battery is being discharged.
• Green BATTERY light is blinking: The battery charge is low or the
battery is being charged.
Chapter 5, “Reference,” contains a table with all combinations of
indicator lights and their meanings.
DIP Switches
Four DIP switches control how the printer works. Follow these steps to
make sure the switches are set correctly.
Checking DIP Switches
1. Set the printer face down so that the battery compartment is towards
you.
2. Find the set of four DIP switches marked SW1 on the bottom of the
printer. See Figure 5.
FIGURE 5. Checking the printer’s DIP switches
3. Check the settings of the DIP switches.
NOTE: At the factory all DIP switches are set to ON (up). For a
table listing the function of each DIP switch, see next
page.
Page 6
Setting DIP Switches
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Set the printer face down so that the battery compartment is towards
you.
3. Using a pointed object such as a mechanical pencil or paper clip,
gently move each DIP switch to the desired position: towards you for
OFF, away from you for ON.
4. Turn the printer face up, turn the printer on and continue.
Printing a Self-Test Sheet
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Using a pointed object such as a mechanical pencil or paper clip,
gently move DIP switch 1 to the OFF position (all others should be in
the ON position).
3. Place a sheet of paper in the printer.
4. Press the power switch once quickly. A test pattern should be printed
on this paper as it is fed through the printer.
5. If you need to print multiple test pages, repeat steps 1 through 4
above as needed.
6. When finished, turn the Printer off and reset DIP switch 1 to the ON
position.
Page 7
DIP Switch Functions (Control Modes)
There are four control modes and one control function available. Turn
the printer off, select the mode(s) you desire (see page 20 & 21 for
details) using the DIP switches on the bottom of the printer as explained
below (See Figures 6a-c below), then turn the printer back on. Note
that the DIP switches are all set to the ON position at the factory as
default positions.
SW1 - Self Print FIGURE 6a.
This mode allows you to print a test page consisting of a repeating
pattern of various-density bars down to the end of the page. Set DIP
switch 1 to OFF to enable the self-print function. Note that the test
page size is US Letter.
SW2 – Paper Set Control FIGURE 6b.
If this switch is in the OFF position, paper in the printer will not be
moved when the printer is powered up. This is for using roll paper. If
this switch is in the ON position, paper in the printer will be moved into
position when the printer is powered up. This is for using cut sheet
paper.
SW3 - Auto-Off Timer FIGURE 6c.
This mode applies only when the printer is powered by the NiMH
battery. It allows you to turn the Auto-Off Timer on or off. In the ON
position, it will turn the printer off after 120 seconds of no activity. In
the OFF position, the printer will stay on until the battery is drained.
The default is ON.
SW4 - Cleaning Mode FIGURE 6d.
DIP switch 4 is set to OFF to allow you to clean the PocketJet print
head and maintain quality printing. You must use the black felt
cleaning paper that came with your printer. The default switch setting
is ON (cleaning mode is OFF).
NOTE: In this mode, the other three switches have no effect. You
may leave them in previously set positions.
