This printer has been electronically modified to extend the life of the
battery due to the current demands of Bluetooth RF communication. The printer
can be set to operate in either the MANUAL POWER OFF or AUTO POWER
OFF mode of operation.
To use Bluetooth, make sure the DIP switches are set as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Bluetooth OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF
S e t t i n g t h e C o m m u n i c a t i o n s P a r a m e t e r s
Bluetooth RF communication occurs at 38.4Kb/sec and parity none. To access
the DIP switches, open the battery door and remove the battery. See “Setting
the DIP Switches” in Chapter 2 for the proper location of the following DIP
switch settings.
DIP switch #4 = OFF and DIP switch #5 = OFF for 38.4Kb/sec
DIP switch #6 = OFF and DIP switch #7 = OFF for parity none

When using RF wireless communication, turn the printer on by pressing the ON
switch located on the left side of the printer. The printer remains active waiting
for the wireless print command. Pressing the ON switch again turns the printer
OFF. For each wireless use, turn on the printer again by pressing the ON
switch. Operating in this way greatly extends the life of the battery.
Operating with dip switch #8 ON means that the printer automatically turns off
after 99 sec. (default) or the time set up by the System Administrator. This
places the highest current demand from the battery resulting in reduced battery
charge life. It is recommended using the universal wall charger for additional
trickle charging to the battery to keep it fully charged.
If you want to leave the printer on for continuous operation (MANUAL POWER
OFF), set the DIP switch #8 to OFF.
DIP switch #8 = OFF
