If the product has batteries installed and the AC adapter is also plugged into a power outlet, the AC adapter will be given priority as the power supply. However, it is recommended that you remove the batteries when using the AC adapter, as they will be drained otherwise.
If the batteries are installed and the AC adapter is connected to the product, do not disconnect the AC adapter during printing. The product will not be able to print properly if you do so.
When printing using battery power, even if the AC adapter is connected during printing, the power supply will not be switched until printing is finished.
The remaining battery power cannot be displayed correctly directly after switching the power supply from the AC adapter to the batteries. Once printing starts, the remaining capacity will be updated.
When using the (optional) tube warmer or when printing large characters (character size: 6mm full-width), the batteries will be drained quickly. In such cases, we recommend the use of an AC adapter.
