Compact4 Mobile
The Compact4 Mobile printer is the only true vehicle mount solution. The printerʼs mechanical structure
has been successfully tried and tested against the effects of shock and vibration.
The printer is ready to accept DC voltage from 24VDC to 48VDC with electronics that are ready to handle
the large variations in voltage and power spikes typical in a vehicle environment.*
* A 12V to 24V DC power converter is available if needed.
