Electrical Characteristics
 Power supply using a single charger (OT-SC20)
Reliability
1 End of life is defined as the point at which the printer reaches the beginning of the wear out period.
2 This is a random failure occurring at the time of the random failure period.
3 This is an average failure interval based on failures related to wear out and random failures up to the life of 10 mil-
lion lines.
Environmental Conditions
Temperature and humidity
Be sure to install the battery in the printer. The printer does not operate with the single charger only.
