Battery

For Battery Pack NK-300,

• Charging
  • Plug in the Adapter
  • Close the printer's top lid
  • The charging light should Flash or blink up to 10 hours. When fully charged, the charge light will turn off.
  • A fully charge and good battery can print approx. 180 pages @ 5% coverage, but remember every print job is NOT 5%, so this value can vary greatly. Also If you leave the printer on when not printing, it will shorten the battery time.
• Discharging / Refresh
  • Insure the battery pack is in the battery case (portable kit)
  • Using a pointed object, ie a pen, press the REFRESH button (right side of battery case).
  • The REFRESH light should blink up to 10 hours max.
  • When the battery is discharged, the printer will start re-charging the battery.
