The printer can operate with six AA alkaline batteries for power; however, alkaline batteries should only be used as temporary backup power. To save power, the printer will automatically turn off after five minutes of inactivity.
Connecting the Power Adapter
The printer uses a 110V-240V power adapter. Connecting the power adapter with the battery pack inserted recharges the battery pack.

To connect the power adapter 1. Plug the power adapter into the power
connector on the top of the printer. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet.
Inserting the Battery Pack
The hard case kit includes a rechargeable, Lithiumion battery pack for portable use when not connected to the power adapter. As temporary backup power, the printer can operate using six AA alkaline batteries. To insert the battery pack 1. Press the thumb latch on the back of the printer
to remove the battery compartment cover. See Figure 3.
Press thumb latch to open

Using International Characters
The printer supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, holding down a letter key will scroll through variations of that letter. For example, if you hold down the letter a, you will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through all the variations available. The order in which the character variations appear depends on the language you selected to use.
International characters are not available when the language is set to US English.

Creating Industrial Labels
You can quickly create labels for special industrial applications, such as cable or wire wrap, flag, patch panel, electrical panel, terminal block, 110-block, or module. You can also create a fixed length label. Hot Keys are available for each of the label types. The current label type is displayed in the Caption bar. By default, the label type is General with no special formatting, text centered, and the length automatically determined by the amount of text. The Hot Keys always take you to the indicated label type. For example, if you choose Flag and later want a General label, press the General key to remove the Flag settings and return to General label type.

Creating Cable and Wire Labels
You can create several types of labels that wrap around a cable or wire: Cable, Wire, and Flag labels.

Creating a Series of Labels
You can automatically generate labels by creating a series. You create a starting pattern, and then set the increment and count for the series. You can serialize any number or letter by selecting the position to be incremented, such as the number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, when the 2 is selected in 123 and the increment #=3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 153, and 183. Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z, and numbers from 1 to 9. When the letter Z or the number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or number is added to increase the increment. For example, Az increments to Aaa, AZ increments to BA, and A9 increments to A10. Three methods of serialization are available: simple, simultaneous, and advanced.
