NOTE:

Use of chargers other than those supplied by W.H. Brady will damage or shorten the life of

the printer or battery pack!

Battery Power

Operating the I.D. Pro Printer with the Battery Charger connected to the unit

simultaneously charges the rechargeable battery pack. Whether the power switch is ON or

OFF, the battery pack will continue to be charged by the Battery Charger. The Battery

Pack can also be charged out of the printer. To remove the battery pack, squeeze thebattery pack releases on both sides of the battery pack (see Figure 1).

It is recommended to charge the battery for a minimum of 4 to 5 hours before operating theprinter solely on battery power. Once fully charged, it is recommended that the unit be

unplugged from the Battery Charger and operated solely on battery power. Leaving the

battery plugged into the Battery Charger continuously will shorten the life of the batterypack.

Battery Life

When the battery has reached a minimum level of power, the printer will display "LOWBATTERY" on the screen until the unit is turned off and the Battery Charger is

connected. To maximize the life of the battery, restore the battery to full power (rechargefor at least four hours) before operating again on battery power. For maximum battery life,

it is recommended that the battery be used until the "LOW BATTERY" screen is

displayed. The battery should then be recharged.

Step 3 Turn the Power ON

Locate the power switch found along the upper right hand side of the printer.

To turn the powerON, gently push the power switch (see Figure 1) to either smallor large type size. The Size Code screen will then appear.

TO PRINT SERIALIZED LEGENDS...

General Guidelines for Serializing

Symbols and foreign characters will not serialize.

Locate the cursor directly below the right-most character to be serialized. Press the serialkey to increment the character.

When the serialized character reaches 9 or Z, the next character to the left is incremented,and the right-most character becomes 0 or A. This will continue for up to 3 places. For

example: 099 becomes 100.

Any line or portion of a line of the legend may be independently serialized. Either alpha ornumeric characters can be serialized but not a combination of the both.
