HP Photosmart A512 Compact Photo Printer - Manual (Page 43)

The optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery is installed in the printer, but it will
not charge.
Solution
●
Turn off and unplug the printer. Open the battery compartment cover. Remove
the battery and reinstall it. Be careful not to touch the contacts on the inside of
the battery compartment or on the battery. For more information on how to install
the battery, see the documentation that came with the battery.
● Check that the printer power cord is securely connected to both the printer and
the power source. When the printer is turned off, the On light flashes green to
indicate that the battery is charging.
● Turn on the printer. The battery charging icon, a lightning bolt, flashes above
the battery icon on the printer screen to indicate that the battery is charging.
● An empty battery should fully charge in approximately four hours when the
printer is not in use. If the battery still does not charge, replace it.
The printer makes noises when I turn it on, or starts making noises after sitting
unused for a while.
Solution The printer may make noises after long periods of inactivity
(approximately 2 weeks) or when its power supply has been interrupted and then
restored. This is normal operation. The printer is performing an automatic
maintenance procedure to ensure it produces the best quality output.
