1 Using the Printer Use this chapter to familiarize yourself with the 6822 printer.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer Learning About the Printer Models The 6822 printer is used in the route accounting industry to produce high-quality customer invoices, receipts, load reports, transfers, and other documents. A unique “sleep” feature saves energy when the printer is not printing, eliminating the need for an ON/OFF switch. Data input is normally provided by hand-held or mobile computers.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer Guidelines for Operating the Printer • Make sure that you mobile computer remains connected to the printer when printing or operating. • Keep the printer cover closed except during maintenance or when loading paper. • Make sure the paper is properly installed in the paper tray or dashboard mount. • Disconnect the printer power cable when jump-starting the vehicle. • Make sure your printer is loaded with paper before communicating with your mobile computer.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer Understanding the Status Indicators (continued) Description Indicator Description Power The power LED turns green when you press any button and goes off after ten seconds.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer • force a synchronization between the printer and a connected PC when sending control codes • restart the printer for any reason Note: The reset button does not reset a connected Bluetooth module as it is powered from a different power source. Both the fixed mount printer and the portable printer have a reset button on the left-hand side of the raised printer mechanism. See the following illustration for the location of the reset button.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer Understanding the Power Supply Options The following power supply options are available for the 6822s. Using the Internal Battery The internal battery (P/N 317-075-001) allows the portable printer and some fixed mount printers to operate independently of other power sources. The 6822 discharges the internal battery even when the printer is not is use. Over time, the internal battery can discharge to the point where the battery is not recoverable.
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer Connecting to a DC Power Source Each printer has a dc power jack that connects the printer to a power source, such as the vehicle battery or an external power supply. Each printer communicates with a mobile computer through the mobile computer socket (in terminal holder, remote terminal holder, or vehicle dock). Fixed Mount Printer The dc power connector is on the bottom rear of the printer behind the printer terminal holder.

Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer Installing the Internal Battery The optional internal battery is primarily for portable printers. The battery can go in some fixed mount printers using a cable and a factoryinstalled adapter. The printer battery recharges automatically when the printer is connected to an external power source. For most installations, the external power source is passed through the printer to the mobile computer. The printer battery does not provide charge to the computer.
Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer Installing the Ribbon Cartridge Make sure there is a ribbon cartridge in the printer before you print and that the ribbon is fully seated (the cartridge makes a distinct “snap” or “click” when properly seated) with the visible portion of the ribbon straight and even.

Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer Adjusting the Printhead Gap The head gap adjuster is near the printer mechanism on the side opposite the green thumb wheel. The printhead adjuster has five notches between the printhead and the platen for different paper thicknesses. Verify the thickness of the paper loaded into the printer. To adjust the printhead gap • If you are using single-sheet forms, set the head gap adjuster to the third notch away from the paper.
Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer Loading the Paper Tray Note: Do not exceed the recommended amounts of paper quantity or thickness. When loading multiple-sheet paper, be sure to have the original faced up, with the leading edge towards the rear of the printer.
