E-21 Replacing the Battery Your Handheld Printer Terminal uses two types of battery: a battery pack and a memory backup battery. A battery pack (DT-9723LIC) is used for the main battery. A backup battery is housed inside the Handheld Printer Terminal. This guide uses the following terms to refer to the batteries. Battery Pack: Rechargeable battery pack for normal operations and data storage Backup Battery: Built-in battery for memory backup When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a charged battery pack. For information how to charge battery pack, see pages 49, 56 and 60. Replacing the Battery Pack Important! Always keep backup copies of all important data! • The main battery powers normal operation and also provides power required to maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the main battery while the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep separate backup copies of all important data. • The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it. • The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one. • A fully charged backup battery can maintain memory (RAM) contents for about 10 minutes, even when the main battery is removed. • The backup battery achieves a full charge in about four days when the battery pack is loaded. E-22 To replace the battery pack 1. Make sure that the Handheld Printer Terminal is turned off. If the power is on, press the power key to turn it off. 2. Turn the battery pack cover lock switch on the side of the Handheld Printer Terminal to the “FREE” position. 3. Open the battery pack cover. 4. Remove the battery pack. Press down the battery pack eject button (see the arrow). Remove the battery pack by pulling on the tape. 5. Install a charged battery pack in the Handheld Printer Terminal. Make sure the battery pack is aligned correctly when you install it. E-23 Replacing the Battery 6. Return the battery pack cover to its original position as shown in the illustration, and then turn the battery pack cover lock switch to the “LOCK” position. Important! • When replacing the battery pack, make sure you do not leave the Handheld Printer Terminal without a battery pack for more than about 10 minutes. Doing so can cause data in the memory to be deleted. • Never try to use other type of battery than the one that is specified for this product. E-24 Attaching the Hand Strap A flexible hand strap can be attached to the Handheld Printer Terminal. Hook A Hook B Hand Strap Attach the hand strap following the procedure described below. 1.

Pull out the neck strap mounting hooks out of each silo on the bottom of the Handheld Printer Terminal using the tip of stylus. Hook the protrusive part (**) of the ring on the neck strap mounting hook as shown in the illustration. While slightly pushing the ring, turn the ring until all part of it is fully hooked. ** The ring is very stiff for the first time. A small flat screw driver is helpful by inserting it into overlapped part of the ring to make a room when hooking the protrusive part. The illustration shows the IT-3100M53E2. 2. Pull back the locking bar of the neck strap mounting hook and then hook the mounting hook onto the ring as shown in the illustration. * ; The rings give an extra mechanical strength for the Neck Strap. The metallic hooks of the Neck Strap can, in rare case, be worn by abrasion induced by swinging the IT-3100 terminal specifically when it is hung from the operator's neck with the Neck Strap. For those who often use the IT-3100 terminal in a hanging position, it is recommended to use the rings to secure the Neck Strap. E-26 Removal Procedure 1.

Important! • Always make sure to load formed sheet paper in the printer before printing. Printing without loading paper can cause the printer to malfunction. • Do not touch the printer since it can become very hot. E-37 Using the Printer Precautions When Using Printer Printing Accuracy 1. During high-duty printing such as printing horizontal lines or printing while the battery remaining capacity is low, the printing speed may slow down to prevent excess current consumption that may cause unaligned printing for one dot or more. 2. Line change errors may occur if the printing interval between lines is about one second or more. In the case of using formed sheet paper, either use a large frame with free spaces available or set the printer to continuously print to prevent the line change errors. 3. Because printing may pause if the battery remaining capacity is low, line alignment error or printing with uneven space between characters may occur when printing resumes later. 4. Printing may be illegible right after the roll paper cover has been opened for reloading roll paper. This can be prevented by feeding the roll paper before starting printing again. 5. The printer will not print unless the paper is loaded properly. Always make sure to properly load the paper before starting printing. 6. Only use the recommended printer paper. Use of paper other than the recommended printer paper can reduce printing quality, shorten printer service life or cause other detrimental effects that have the risk of impairing printer characteristics. 7. Observe the following when storing printer paper. • Do not store paper in locations subject to high temperature and high humidity since spontaneous coloring of the paper occurs at temperatures of 60°C (140°F) and above. • Store paper in a cool, dark location while avoiding excessive exposure to direct sunlight. • Plastic films containing plasticizers, ester-based erasers, tape and glue can cause discoloration, while contact with organic solvents, diazo copy paper or scratching with the fingernail, etc. can cause the paper to become colored. E-38 Others 1. The temperature range for printing with 2-ply paper and label paper is 5 to 35°C. 2. Once the end mark of the paper appears, promptly replace with new paper. 3. Recommended paper: Use only specified papers by CASIO. 4. Paper scraps may accumulate and printing quality may decrease when the printer has been used for a long period of time. The thermal head must be cleaned when this happens. Contact your nearest CASIO distributor or an authorized CASIO service provider to have cleaning performed. 5. Printing quality may decrease when the surrounding temperature becomes excessively low. 6. If once the printer is set for 58 mm width paper, it cannot be changed again for 80mm width paper. 7. Load paper in the printer when not using for a long period of time to prevent damage to printer components. Important! • Do not touch the thermal head during or immediately after printing. E-39 Using the C-MOS Imager (IT-3100M55E2/IT-3100M56E2/IT-3100M75E2 only) 1. Turn on the Handheld Printer Terminal, position its C-MOS Imager reader port near the bar code or 2D code, and then press the Trigger Key (R or L). 2. The Handheld Printer Terminal reads the code by emitting laser and red lights. Indicator 2 (read operation indicator lamp) lights in green when the reading is successful. Bar code and stacked 2D code Reading Guide When you press the Trigger key (R or L), LEDs in the Handheld Printer Terminal emit laser and red lights. Align the laser frame with the center of the bar code or 2D code you are trying to read. Take particular care aligning the light when there are other bar codes nearby. When reading a large code, adjust the position of the Handheld Printer Terminal so that the entire code is enclosed within the laser frame. Important! • If you have problem not properly reading a code, change the angle and/or the distance between the code and the Handheld Printer Terminal and try reading it again. • A bar code can be read from a distance of 40mm to 410mm (19/16" to 161/8"), and a stacked 2D code can be read from a distance of 50mm to 250mm (115⁄16" to 913⁄16") and matrix 2D code can be read from a distance of 60mm to 150mm (23⁄8" to 515⁄16"). The actual reading distance depends on the symbology and the resolution. • For smaller codes, move the Handheld Printer Terminal closer to the code. • To read a large code, move the Handheld Printer Terminal further away from the code. • Note that a special reader application is required to read bar codes and 2D codes. • The IT-3100M55E2/M56E2/M75E2 support reading of 2D code symbologies. • Fingerprints, dust, dirt, or other foreign matter on the C-MOS Imager reader port can cause abnormal reading. Should the reader port become dirty, wipe it clean with a soft and dry cloth. E-40 Warning Label IT-3100M55E2/ M56E2/M75E2 Laser light is emitted from this port • This label is a warning label for Class 2 laser products that comply with IEC60825-1:2007 CAUTION • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. • The laser light emitted by the C-MOS Imager has a maximum output of less than 1 mW and a wavelength of 650 nm. Warning! ■ Never look directly into the laser light. • This product with the integrated laser scanning module scans bar codes using laser light. Never look directly into the laser light or shine the laser light into the eyes. E-41 Magnetic Card Reader The Magnetic Card Reader comes as standard with IT-3100M54E2/M55E2/M75E2. Only use cards that are compatible with the ISO standards. The procedure for reading cards is described below. 1. Remove the cover as shown in the illustration. 2. Insert the card all the way into the reader as shown in the illustration, and steadily pass the card through the reader in the direction of the arrow. Precautions During Use • Cards may not be able to be read if they are passed through the reader rapidly. • A reading error may occur if the speed at which the card is passed through the reader changes suddenly. • Do not allow magnets to come in close proximity to the magnetic card since this can prevent data on the card from being read. In addition, do not stack magnetic cards on top of each other. • Cards that have been excessively misshaped or bent may not be able to be read. • Soiling of the magnetic strip may make it difficult to read the card. If a card has become soiled, wipe with a clean and soft cloth. • Regularly clean the magnetic card reader by passing a cleaning card through the reader to prevent excessive friction with cards. When using in a location where there are low levels of dust, clean once a week or about once every 500 passes through the card reader. • Install the cover when not using the magnetic card reader. The drip-proof of the magnetic card reader is not sufficient if the cover is not installed. E-42 Performing Data Communication IR Communication IR communication can be used to transmit data between two Handheld Printer Terminals. When performing IR communication, orient the IR ports of both Handheld Printer Terminals so they are pointing directly at each other. Data communication is possible within a distance of 0 (in direct contact) to 1 m (max. 20 cm at 4 Mbps). Important! • A high-sensitivity communication element is used during IR communication. • In order to ensure successful communication, avoid using cellular phones or other devices that emit radio wave in the area where you are performing IR communication. • If you need to use such a device, move away from the communicating Handheld Printer Terminals. In case of a cellular phone, keep it at least 30cm (117⁄8") away. RS-232C Communication (IT-3100M53E2/IT-3100M54E2 only) You can also transmit data directly between the Handheld Printer Terminal and your computer. With the power turned off, open the connector cover ( 1 ) and connect the RS-232C interface connector on the right side of the Handheld Printer Terminal ( 2 ) with your computer using the RS-232C Cross Cable (HA-B80AX). E-43 Performing Data Communication Bluetooth® Communication Bluetooth® protocol can also be used to transmit data between two Handheld Printer Terminals. The two Handheld Printer Terminals should be no more than three meters apart (as long as there is nothing blocking the path in between). Important! Observe the following precautions to help ensure that data communication is successful. • Make sure that the Handheld Printer Terminal are located within about three meters (16'413⁄16") of each other. Surroundings (obstacles) may cause a shorter distance between the two terminals. • Make sure there is at least two meters (6' 7") between this device and other devices (electrical appliances, audio-visual equipment, office automation equipment, and digital cordless telephones, facsimile machines, etc. Take special care with microwave ovens. Allow at least three meters (9' 103⁄8") between communicating devices and a microwave oven.) When approaching such a device with its power is turned on, proper data communication may prove impossible while this may also cause interference with TV and radio reception (images produced by certain UHF and broadcast satellite channels may become blurry). • Normal data communication may not be possible in an area near a broadcast transmitter or wireless transmitter. If this happens, move to a different location. Normal data communication may not be possible in areas exposed to strong radio waves. • Wireless LAN Interference Because Bluetooth® and Wireless LAN use the same frequency band (2.4GHz), radio interference can occur if there is a Wireless LAN device nearby. This can result in lower data communication speeds, or even make it impossible to establish a connection. If this happens, try the following countermeasures. • Move at least 10 meters (32'103⁄4") away from the Wireless LAN device. • If you cannot keep the distance at least 10 meters (32'103⁄4") or more between the Handheld Printer Terminal and a Wireless LAN device, turn off the power of the Wireless LAN device. E-44 Resetting the Handheld Printer Terminal Resetting the Handheld Printer Terminal is the same as restarting a computer. Performing a reset causes all unsaved inputs and edits to be lost, but data that is already stored in the memory as well as all settings should be unaffected.
