Spindle
The basic design consists of a locking spindle that securely holds the
media in place and a print mechanism with a slotted paper path. The
media is loaded into the paper path slot and secured with the roll
guide and release lever.
The front and top covers are used to access the print roller for
cleaning and maintenance. A status lamp indicates the current status
of the printer - a red light indicates the printer is not ready for use and
green indicates the printer is ready. The print button is used to feed
media as well as print.
The communication ports allow the printer to be connected to a host
via cable to communicate status and receive print data. Power
connect comes in two forms: 110-230VAC (Compact4) or 24-48VDC
(Compact4 Mobile). Power is turned on and off using the power
switch.
The following features are available on the Compact4 Mobile only:
metal roll guide, locking handle, anti-spin media spool to keep the roll
from unwinding during extreme vibration, DC ready power
connection, lock plate, and a bottom plate with locking clip for quick
removal.
