6 PW50 Workboard Printer User Guide
Understanding the Printer Sounds
The PW50 plays sounds in response to several actions that you can
take with the printer. Use the following table to understand when the
sounds occur and what they mean.
Using the Batteries
The PW50 uses a rechargeable 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery (Model
AB13) for power. You must fully charge the battery before you can use
the PW50. When the printer is in Standby mode, a fully charged
battery can last up to one week without recharging.
Feed Press to advance receipt paper. The amount of media
that feeds depends on the type of media you are using.
Media advances by 5 mm (0.2 in) or feeds a configured
length of media based on your media and settings.
If the printer is printing, pressing this button pauses
printing. Press the button again to resume printing.
Press and hold the Feed button for 3 seconds to
perform a testfeed and register new media.
