Parts Identification
Power Switch
There are three positions for this switch: OFF, ON,
and CHARGE/AC.
1. Keep the unit switched OFF when not in use.
2. When set to ON, power will be supplied from
the internal rechargeable battery.
3. Switch to the CHARGE/AC position when
charging the internal battery. Also use this
position to operate the printer on power
supplied through the AC Adapter/Charger.
Indicator Lights
There are two indicator lights visible on the front of
the printer: POWER and BATT.LOW.
1. The POWER indicator lights when power is
switched on.
2. The BATT.LOW indicator lights when the
internal battery charge becomes low. This
indicator flashes when a paper jam occurs.
DIP Switch Setting
The DIP switch cover may be opened to examine
the settings of the six DIP switches. The switches
will be set at TSI for proper operation with the TSI
instruments. Switches 1, 2, and 4 should be down
(on) and switches 3, 5, and 6 should be up (off).
