Unplug the printer. Generally, a UPS is to let you safely save your open files or documents and safely shut down. It is not really meant to keep everything such as printers and other items running.
If it is a laser printer, that is the problem.
If you have an older CRT monitor, that uses a large portion of the battery power capacity.

Also, never plug in a "heater" into a UPS.

hope this helps!

Rs 900 back up is beeping with the on battery, overload, and replace battery lights blinking

just check that you are not overloading the ups or make sure that the ups output is not connected to the input of the ups in most of such cases almost all light indicators start blinking

Overload led constantly blinking

The Overload relay may be faulty. Replace the overload relay. Althernatively turn in the UPS to an expert since there is life power in the circuits.

My APC RS 900 UPS is making a beeping noise and the red light on the front is blinking. It seems to be working, but what is it trying to tell me?

Without knowing which light is flashing I can only guess. From my experience and assuming it is the battery light that is lit and NOT the overload light, it can be one of two things, one is your battery is near the end of its life and needs to be replaced, and the other is that your battery is improperly connected.

To confirm if your battery needs to be replaced or not, you can run a self test. Ensure that the battery has had time to fully charge (and that it is definitely correctly connected), and then turn off the UPS, and turn it back on. It will automatically run a self test.

if the light stays lit, you need to order new batteries. One source is here: http://www.refurbups.com/APC-Back-UPS-RS-900-BR900-Replacement-Batteries

If it IS the overload light that is lit, you simply have too much equipment attached to the UPS, more than the inverter can handle. Try removing some equipment until it turns off.
