Use the compatible Brother AC adapter and AC power cord to connect your printer to an AC power socket (see Recharging the battery using the AC Adapter (PA-AD-600) (Optional)), or use the Brother compatible car adapter to connect your printer to a DC power socket (see Recharging the Battery using the Car Adapter (Optional)).

Recharging the Battery using the AC Adapter (PA-AD-600) (Optional)

1. Make sure that the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed in your printer.
2.  Open the interface cover and connect the AC adapter to your printer.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the AC adapter.

Connect your printer to your vehicle’s 12 V DC power socket (cigarette lighter or similar) to charge the rechargeable battery.

1.  Make sure that the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed in your printer.
2.  Connect the car adapter to the vehicle’s 12 V DC power socket.

Recharging the Battery using the Battery Charger (Optional)
The optional battery charger can also be used for charging the battery outside of the printer. For more information, see the operation manual that is included with the battery charger.

Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging
To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter or car adapter from the DC connector.

Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

• High-density (dark) printing discharges the battery faster than low-density printing. You can adjust the print density setting in the Printer Setting Tool.
• The battery charging must take place between 5 and 35°C environments, otherwise, the battery will not be charged. If the charging stops because the environment temperature is too low or too high, place your printer in an environment with a temperature between 5 and 35°C and try charging again.
• If you use your printer when both the battery is installed and the AC adapter or car adapter is connected, charging may stop even if the battery is not fully charged.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics

To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:

• Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures as it may deteriorate more quickly.
• Remove the battery when storing your printer for long periods of time.
• Store batteries with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
• Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of time.
•  It is normal and safe for the printer to become warm while charging. Disconnect the charger and stop using the printer if it becomes hot to the touch.

Connecting Using USB

1. Make sure your printer is turned off before connecting the USB cable.
2.  Connect the printer end of the USB cable to the mini-USB port on the side of your printer.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on the computer.

Connecting Using Bluetooth (RJ-2030/2050/2150 only)
Use this procedure to pair your printer with the computer or mobile device using the Bluetooth management software:

1. Press the [Menu] button to select the [Bluetooth] menu, and then press the [OK] button. Select [On].
2.  Use your Bluetooth device management software to discover your printer.

NOTE

Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of your Bluetooth-equipped devices (computers and mobile devices) or Bluetooth adapter and install any necessary hardware and software.

• The Bluetooth connection settings are saved even after your printer is turned off.
•  If your device cannot discover your printer using Bluetooth, your printer may be connected to another device. Use the connected device to end the Bluetooth connection with your printer, or turn your printer off and on again.
•  If you close the cover of the device while transmitting data, communication may be interrupted.
• If your printer becomes disconnected because the mobile device is moved away from your printer, select “Bluetooth” in the device settings, and then tap the device you want to connect to from the list of Bluetooth devices.

Printing Receipts or Labels

• Print Head Maintenance Wipe the print head with a dry, lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Carry out maintenance frequently.
• Roller Maintenance Wipe the roller with a dry, lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. After cleaning the roller, make sure that no lint or other material remains on the roller.
