GETTING STARTED
Use the Monarch® 9876™ and 9878™ Mobile Work Station™ (MWS™) for mobile
printing.
About the MWS
The MWS ships mostly assembled. There are optional accessories available for the 9876
MWS that may require some assembly.
About the 9876 Optional Accessories
To assemble the options, you may need a 5/32" Hex wrench, and a Phillips screw driver.
The 9876 MWS has combinations of doors and solid panels. The door enclosures should
already be attached to the MWS.
Note: Use water or a glass and surface cleaner to
clean the door enclosures. Do not use solvents
on these enclosures. A solvent will damage the
door enclosure.

Attaching the Hanging Folders
Follow the steps below to attach the hanging folders to the
9876 MWS. .
1. Remove the following items from their packaging:
(1) file folders
(4) 3/8" plastite screws (may already be attached to
panel)
2. Use the assembly instructions provided with the file
folders to assemble folders to the MWS panel.
3. Tighten the screws.
Connecting the Power Cord
Connect the charger's power cord to the power inlet. Power cords are not included with
International models.
Note:The charger’s power switch does not control the MWS power. The MWS power switch
located on the power panel controls power to the MWS and connected devices.
Routing the Cables (9878 MWS)
Use the four access holes to route the
cables on the MWS.

Safety Precautions
The following symbols are used in this manual to show the importance of safety when using
the MWS.
WARNING Failure to follow the guidelines marked with this symbol could result in
serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION Failure to follow the guidelines marked with this symbol could result in minor
personal injury or product damage.
Caution, risk of electrical shock. Also known as the "High Voltage" symbol.
Audience
This manual is designed for the person using the MWS for mobile printing applications.
After you receive the MWS, you should have all the necessary parts, including the batteries
and charger. Keep the boxes and packaging material in case the MWS ever needs repair.
Calling Service
If these solutions do not work or you have a problem not listed, see your System Administrator
or call Service at the number listed on the back of this manual.

1-4 Operating Instructions

Charging the Batteries 2-1
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The battery charger is a fully automatic, maintenance-free charger. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: The charger's power switch does not control MWS power. The MWS power switch,
located on the power panel, controls power to the MWS and connected devices.
To charge the battery, plug the MWS’s AC power cord into a grounded outlet.
Charge the battery:
♦before using the MWS for the first time (charge it for 7 hours)
♦when the MWS beeps (see “Battery Life” for indications of low battery conditions)
♦when the MWS is not in use.
You may be able to operate equipment connected to the MWS for up to four hours while the
cart is charging.However, use of MWS equipment results in slower charge rates.
For optimal performance, we recommend that you turn off all equipment and allow the MWS to
achieve a full charge before returning the MWS to use.
You cannot overcharge the battery. The battery charger is “intelligent”; it monitors the battery
condition and does not overcharge the lead acid battery. Battery life is extended by frequent
charging.
CAUTION: Only qualified service personnel may install or replace the two 12-volt
(55 or 75 amp-hours) sealed lead-acid non-venting batteries on the MWS.
If replacing batteries, you must use the same type of battery from the same manufacturer
(as the ones provided with the MWS). Make sure the batteries are NRTL-recognized.
Also, BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to maintain capacity match.
Important Battery Safety Information
♦Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery.
♦Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting
spark or short-circuit on the battery of other electrical part
may cause an explosion.
♦Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.

2-2 Operating Instructions
Battery Life
The MWS Battery Status LEDs are located on the top-left side of the Power Panel. To use the
Battery Status LEDs, the MWS must be on.
If you leave the battery charger plugged in and constantly charging when the MWS is not in
use (turn MWS power off), the battery life is maximized for the application. The charger does
not overcharge the batteries.
The MWS has signal lights to indicate the battery status as follows. The following voltages are
an approximation and should be used for reference only.
Flashing Orange Warning! The batteries need immediate charging. The MWS beeps
continuously to alert you of this condition. (Early models have red lights
instead of orange).
Flashing Yellow Caution! Finish printing the batch, then recharge the MWS. The batteries
are getting low.
Flashing Green Go! The batteries are charged to approximately 75% or better capacity.
If the CHARGE light does not turn on, make sure the charger is properly connected to the
batteries and the charger has AC power.
If the READY light does not turn on after 18 hours, the batteries are deeply discharged. Call
Technical Support or replace the batteries.
About the Battery Charger
♦Store the charger in a dry area not subject to prolonged below freezing temperatures.
♦The “intelligent” battery charger monitors the batteries condition and does not overcharge
the batteries. It is recommended to leave the battery charger plugged in and charging
when the MWS is not in use. Battery life is extended by frequent charging.
♦The charger’s Green light is on when the battery is finished charging. Leaving the charger
plugged in prevents the battery from self-discharging.
♦The MWS Battery Status LEDs provide the most accurate indication of battery status. While
the 24VDC charger has Percentage LEDS that also show battery status, use the three
Battery Status LEDS on the Power Panel.
