About the Battery Base
Instead of using the AC power supply, you can use the optional battery
base to provide power for the PC43d printer. Depending on your
printer duty cycle, the rechargeable battery in the battery base provides
up to 8 hours of power.
PC43d Printer and Battery Base
For help installing the printer on the battery base, see the PC43d
Battery Base Installation Instructions.
Note: Battery life depends on many factors. The battery is designed to
provide 8 hours of charge (plus one hour of standby time) when you
are printing a 150-mm (6-in) label every 7 minutes.
Note: Printing speed depends on the actual battery charge level. The
maximum print speed for a PC43d running on battery power is 6 ips
for 203 dpi and 4 ips for 300 dpi.
