Maintaining the Printer
The easiest way to maintain your printer is to extend the battery
life for as long as possible and to perform routine cleaning of the
printer parts.
Extending Battery Life
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures
over 40°C (104°F).
• Only use the following chargers. Use of any other kind of
charger may damage the battery.
• Intermec single battery charger (P/N AT15759-7)
• 4-pack battery charger (P/N AT16305-2)
• Vehicle-mount unit (VMU) running charger: DC/DC 12
VDC (P/N CC16614-1)
• VMU running charger: DC/DC 9 to 30 VDC
(P/N CC16614-2)
• VMU running charger: DC/DC 30 to 60 VDC
(P/N CC16614-3)
• VMU running charger: DC/DC 100 to 240 VDC
(P/N CC16614-4)
• Choose the media that is easiest to “burn.” An Intermec sales
representative can help you determine the optimum media for
your application. For contact information, see the media
brochure that came with your printer.
• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, consider
using a pre-printed label.
• Choose the correct print darkness and print speed for your
media.
• Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possible.
• Select Tear-Off mode whenever possible (Self-Strip mode
uses more power).
• If your printer has the optional LCD, use the display
backlight only when necessary. Turn it off whenever it is not
needed.
