Hazard Warnings
Liquids
• Do not place any liquids or small metallic objects near the
printer. Should any of these fall into the printer,
immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest
dealer or service center. Continued use increases the risk of
fire or electric shocks.
Foreign Matter
• Do not insert or drop metallic or flammable objects into the
openings of the printer (such as outlets for cables). If this
happens, immediately turn off the power and contact your
nearest dealer or service center. Continued use increases
the risk of fire or electric shocks.
• Should the printer be dropped or become damaged,
immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest
dealer or service center. Continued use increases the risk of
fire or electric shocks.

Abnormal Conditions
• Continued use of the printer while it is emitting smoke or
strange odors increases the risk of fire or electric shocks.
Immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest
dealer or service center. Do not try to service the printer by
yourself.
Disassembly
• Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way.
Doing so increases the risk of fire or electric shocks.
Contact your nearest dealer or service center for repairs.
Battery Care
• Never try to take apart the battery pack or modify it in any
way.
• Never expose the battery to direct heat or fire, or take any
actions that may lead to physical damage.

Power Supply Precautions
• Use only the specified voltage and use only the specified
battery charger.
• Never use the battery charger with any other battery pack
except for the specified type. Doing so can rupture the
battery, or cause leakage, fire or electric shocks.
• Never cut, damage or modify the power cord. Also, never
place heavy objects on the power cord or heat or pull the
power cord. Doing so may damage the cord.
• Should the power cord ever become seriously damaged
(internal wiring exposed or shorted), contact your nearest

Cautions
Location
Do not locate the printer in the area subjected to high humidity or dew. If dew
forms inside the printer, immediately turn off the printer and do not use it until
all moisture has dried up. Continued use creates the danger of electric
shock and can damage the printer.
Power
Do not use wet hands to operate the power switch, replace
the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter or battery charger.
Doing so increases the risk of electric shock.
Hazardous Parts
• The entire thermal head gets very hot after printing. Avoid
touching any part of it when replacing paper or cleaning the
printer.
• Do not try to replace the thermal head by yourself.
• The cutter contains a blade, so be careful not to get cut by
the sharp blade.

The Battery Pack
Charging the Battery Pack
Charging with the Optional Charger
If your printer comes with the optional battery charger, you ca use it to
charge the supplied battery pack. Follow the steps below:
1. Connect the charger to the wall outlet and turn on the power.
The POWER lamp lights red.
2. Align the battery pack with its metal contacts facing front,
and slide it forward into the charger.
The CHARGE lamp lights red when charging starts. It turns off
when the battery pack is fully charged. In the case of a five-
battery charger, when charging starts, the CHARGE lamp
22

glows red. It then glows green when the battery packs are
fully charged.
3. Slide the battery pack out of the charger.
Notes
• If the POWER lamp does not light when you turn on the
power, check the power cord connection.
• If the CHARGE lamp does not light at the start of charging,
make sure the battery pack is firmly mounted into the
charger. Poor mounting of the battery pack may result in
faulty charging.
• When the fully charged battery pack is placed into the battery
charger, the CHARGE lamp turns on and then off. In the case
of the five-socket charger, the CHARGE lamp lights green.
• When charging a battery pack that has not been used for a
long time, the CHARGE lamp may blink for a while. This does
not indicate an error. You can continue charging.
• The battery pack can be recharged over about 300 times
(when used at normal temperatures). If the battery pack is
fully charged but runs out quickly, replace it with a new
battery.
Charging Time
It takes about 2.5 hours for a fully discharged battery pack to
return to a fully charged state.
Charging with the Optional AC Adapter
Note: These instructions assume that the battery is installed in
the printer (see “Installing the Battery Pack” below.

and the battery indicator on the printer lights red.
When the battery pack is fully charged, the battery indicator
goes off.
Note: In the case of the Wireless LAN interface model, the
CHARGE LED on the LCD screen lights red when charging
starts, and goes off when charging is complete.
Charging Time
With the AC adapter, it takes about 5 hours for the battery pack
to reach full charge from a fully discharged state.

Printing using the IrDA Interface
1. Place the printer 20 cm away from the IrDA port of the
computer or hand-held terminal. Adjust the printer position
so that the center of its IrDA filter projects a 30° conical area
which contains the IrDA transceiver of the computer or
hand-held terminal.
• The IrDA communication range is limited to 5.9 to 7.9
inches (15 to 20 cm).
• The usable range may vary depending on the usage
environment, or the capabilities of other IrDA devices.
• Communication is compromised by direct sunlight or
ambient light. In such a case, block the strong light from
entering the IrDA filter, or reduce the distance between the
two IrDA ports.

Printing using the Wireless LAN Interface
To print using the Wireless LAN model, you need to have a
properly configured wireless LAN set up. The next step is to
configure the printer to share the same network settings in
order to establish communication.
1. Check the DIP Switches:
• The printer’s DIP switches are factory set for WLAN
operation.
• Check that Dip switch 1 is OFF and Dip switch 2 is ON.
• If you need to reset other switches, refer to the full DIP-
Switch table in the next chapter, “Interface
Specifications.”
2. Setup a connection to the Wireless Network
• Ensure that your printer is configured with the proper
- IP address
- Subnet mask
- Gateway
- SSID
- Channel
- WLAN mode
- Security settings
• Refer to your MIS personnel for details of your existing
wireless network settings.
Note: When printing with the WLAN interface, the usable
range between the printer and the host may vary
depending on the usage environment and the
capabilities of the connected devices.

Printing using the Bluetooth Interface
To print using the Bluetooth-enabled version of MB200/201i,
you need to have a bluetooth-enabled computing device. Two
more steps are required.
1. Check the DIP Switches:
• The printer’s DIP switches are factory set for
bluetooth operation. Check that Dip switch 1 is OFF and
Dip switch 2 is ON. This is the main setting for Bluetooth
operation. In case you need to reset other switches, refer
to the full DIP-Switch table in the next chapter, Interface
Specifications.
2. Synchronize Bluetooth settings
• After setting the DIP-switches, the next step is to ensure
that both bluetooth devices are configured to operate with
the same PIN code and Authentication mode settings.
Refer to the instruction manual of the computing device for
details on how to set these parameters.
Note: When printing with the Bluetooth interface, the usable
range between the printer and the host may vary
depending on the usage environment and the
capabilities of the connected devices.
