Tips on Using the Battery

• Charging battery after it has been
completely discharged takes about 120
minutes.
• When you run a printer on battery power,
it can print approximately 100 pages
on a full charge.
• Darker prints discharge the battery faster
than lighter prints. Use software density
control to adjust lightness and darkness.
• Printer's protective vinyl case has a sleeve
on the inside for an extra battery. With two
batteries, you can print twice as many
pages before you have to charge batteries.
