5.Removingandchargingthebatterypack
A rechargeable battery pack is installed in this printer. The battery pack can be
charged by connecting the printer to an outlet. Though the battery pack may be
slightly charged at the time of shipping, charge the battery pack by referring to the
followingbeforestartingtousethebatterypack.
①Remove the batter y cover at the bottom of the
printer.
②Disengagetheclawlockingthebatterypackinthe
printer by hand. The battery pack will be pushed
outbythespring.Wheninsertingthebatterypack,

③Attachthebatterycover.
* Besuretoturnoffthepowerwhenremovingthebatterypack.
* Whennotusingforalongtime,removethebatterypackfromtheprinter.
④Referto thesection "6.Connection"to connect the AC adapterto the printer ifit
is not connected. When the power is turned on, initialization will start and then

③Turn the power of the printer on and transmit data from the
measuringinstrument.
7.Howtoremoveapaperjam
If you press it with your hand while the paper is being discharged, it may cause a
paperjamoralinefeedfailure.Followthestepsbelowtoremovethepaper.
①Withthepoweroff,pressthecoveropenbuttontoopenthepapercover.
②Removethejammedpaperbypullingitbyhand.
* Takecarenottotouchthethermalheadbecauseitiseasilydamaged.
③Setthepaperstraightandclosethepapercover.
④Turnonthepowerswitch.
* Immediately after printing, the thermal head is hot. Be careful not to touch it with your
hands. Do not touch the surface of the heating element of the thermal head with your
handsormetal.
* Whenloadingpaper,becarefulnottocutyourhandsontheedgesofthepaper.
* MakesurethattheERRORLEDisoff.
8.Regularcleaning
Charactersmay notbe printed partially dueto paperdust or dirt.Depending onthe
frequency of use, clean at least once a month. Be sure to turn off the printer and
removethebatterypackbeforecleaning.
