Among these are the battery’s charge state, the number of charge cycles it has under-gone, and its date of manufacture.  Using these parameters, the P4TSeries’softwarecanmonitorthebattery’sconditionandalertthe user when to recharge, re-condition or remove the battery from service. UseofanybatterypackotherthantheonemanufacturedbyZebraspecicallyforusewithP4TSeriesprinterswillnotbeabletousethediagnosticfeaturesoftheZebraSmartBatteryandwillnotworkwiththeprinter.Printing TechnologyTheP4TSeriesusestwomethodstoprinthumanreadibletext,graphicsandbarcodes:DirectThermal,andThermalTransferDirectThermalDirectthermalprintingusesheattocauseachemicalreactiononspeciallytreatedmedia.Thisreactioncreatesadarkmarkwher-ever a heated element on the printhead comes in contact with the media.  Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at 203d.p.i.(dotsperinch)or8dotspermm,highlylegiblecharactersand graphic elements may be created a row at a time as the media is advanced past the printhead.  This technology has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable supplies suchasinkortoner.However,sincethemediaissensitivetoheat,it will gradually loose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures. ThermalTransferThermal transfer printing uses the same basic technology as direct thermal, except that the printhead elements react with a transfer film which passes between the printhead and the media.  The print-ing process fuses the thermal transfer material to the media being printed and creates characters and graphic images that are very dark,andmorepermanentthanthosecreatedbydirectthermalprinting.  Offsetting this advantage is the extra cost of the thermal transfer film and printing speeds slower than those required for direct thermal printing.Foreaseofinstallation,P4TSeriesthermaltransferlmissuppliedas a cartridge.  Typically a thermal transfer film cartridge will be able to print two rolls of media before needing replacement.  This ratiomayvaryconsiderablybasedontheamountoflabelstockper roll.RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)AP4TSeriesprinterequippedwithanRFIDencoderallowsittoencode  information  on  special  label  media  using  radio frequen-cies in addition to using conventional thermal transfer technology.

This icon is functional only on P4T Series printers with a Bluetooth wireless option installed.Indicates that the printer is associated with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) using an 802.11b/g compliant radio.  This icon is functional only on a P4T Series printer with a WLAN wireless option installed.A flashing icon indicates that the printer does not detect any label media.  This could indicate an out of media condition, or improperly loaded media.A flashing icon indicates that the thermal transfer film is depleted.A flashing icon indicates that data is being transferred to the printer.A flashing outside element of the battery icon indicates low charge status.  You should suspend any printing operations and recharge or replace the Battery Pack as soon as is convenient. Cycling charge level elements within the  battery icon indicate the P4T Series battery is being charged by the AC Adapter.  Refer to Charger section of this manual.Section Continues  If the printer displays: “Please Recondition the Battery” and beeps five times, the user should recondition the battery to return it to optimal operation.  To recondition the battery, charge the battery fully overnight and then use the printer until the printer shuts down due to a low battery condition.    Charge the battery again until it is fully charged.  At that point the battery will be reconditioned.  If the battery is not reconditioned prop-erly the indicated battery charge level will indicate that there is more charge remaining in the battery pack than is actually available. Re-conditioning performed as prompt-ed by the printer will ensure accu-rate capacity indication throughout the serviceable life of the battery.
