MtP400 SL Models
The MtP400 SL models use cassettes of cut sheet receipt paper. In most cases, the host application program
will issue a Form Feed that will eject the sheet currently being printed so that it is ready for the user to simply
pull out of the printer. If the sheet has not been ejected and the host has finished sending data to the printer, the
paper may be ejected by pressing the Paper Feed Button.
Battery Charging
The MtP400 contains battery monitoring and charging circuitry so that the battery may be charged while still in
the printer. Charging the battery in the printer requires an optional power supply. Printek offers power supplies
for use with 100-240VAC/50-60Hz and 12/24VDC for vehicle applications.
Optional external battery chargers are also available so that you can have fully charged batteries “standing by”
when needed.
The printer’s battery status is displayed in the lower right corner of the front panel LCD Display. The status is
displayed as a battery shape which indicates the relative capacity that remains as indicated below.
Fully Charged
Discharged
To charge the battery inside the MtP400, connect the power supply to the appropriate source, and connect the
output of the supply to the printer’s power connector shown in Figure 8.
Caution: Use only Printek power supplies to power your printer and charge batteries. Other power supplies
may damage the electronics and printing mechanism. Damage caused by use of a non-Printek power
supply will not be covered by the printer’s warranty.
