Operation 

Turning On Printer Power 

Once the battery is charged and the paper is loaded, the printer may be powered by pressing and releasing the 

ON/OFF

 Button.  When powered on, the printer’s 

POWER INDICATOR

 will show the current state of the 

battery charge.  Green indicates that the battery is charged enough to continue printing for some period of time 
(does not necessarily indicate a full charge).  Amber indicates that the battery charge is low and the battery 
needs to be recharged soon.  Red indicates that the battery is not charged enough to continue printing.
