(RF) rather than cables. Plan your installation with these considerations in mind, and locate the printer so that the operator can easily load printing media and operate the printer’s controls. MOBILE MOUNT MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The MMQ4 Mobile Mount provides two basic mounting options, to allow maximum flexibility in location. The RCLI-DC Mobile Charger module is shipped separately. The Mobile Charger is mounted external to the Mobile Mount, depending on the individual location’s requirements.
It is important to leave a free zone around the printer to allow loading of paper and routine cleaning of the print head. Refer to Figure 2. In addition, the Mobile Mount allows for some rotation of the printer to allow the best positioning for the operator. Extra clearance should be provided for this movement if it is desired in the installation. NOTE: Mount the Printer where it will not hit the operator in case of an accident. 8.72” 22.15 cm 9.83” 24.97 cm 5.82” 17.78 cm 2.35” 5.
Use a 1/4” (6 mm) drill bit to make mounting holes. Secure the mount with nuts, bolts, and lock washers. Refer to Figure 2 for details on mounting dimensions. The mounting bracket can also be used as a template for locating mounting holes on the vehicle. Note that a clearance of .31” (7.8 mm must be left on either side of the Mount Bracket for mounting hardware. The mounting dimensions in Figure 1 reflect this. 11.00” 11.00" (27.94 cm) 8.63" 8.63” (21.92 cm) 2.00” 2.01" (5.08 cm) 2.75” (6.98 cm) 1.
PRINTER INSTALLATION Printer Preparation Prepare the printer for installation by doing the following: • If your printer has a carrying strap, you must remove it by the following procedure (Refer to Figure 4) : 1. Unscrew the (2) #4-40 x 1” screws holding the top corners of the printer together. 2. Remove the Carrying Strap and the (2) Bushings. 3.
Printer Installation The QL 420 Printer can now be installed in the Mobile Mount. Secure the printer to the Mobile Mount Bracket with (4) #8-32 x 3/8” Screws, Lock Washers and Flat Washers. (See Figure 5). Plug the output voltage cable from the Mobile Charger into the bottom of QL 420 Printer. (Note: In some installations it may be easier to plug the charger cable into the printer prior to securing the Printer to the Mobile Mount.
Attaching the Fanfold Bin If the printer will be using fanfold media, you must install the fanfold bin to the Mobile Mount. Hook the lip on the back of the tray to the corresponding “hooks” on the mobile Mount. Install a 1/4- 20 Hex head screw to the back of the center bar on the Mobile Mount which supports the fanfold bin and tighten it to secure the bin. Loading Media Follow the loading procedures found in the QL 420 User’s Guide.
Connect the Printer • Plug the output cable from the Charger to the battery connection on the printer. (Refer to the QL 420 User’s Manual for more information.) If you are using a MMQ4 Mobile mount, it may be easier to plug in the charger connector before mounting the Printer to the Mobile Mount bracket. • Turn the power source for the charger on, and verify that the indicator lights on the Charger’s front panel are lit and the Charger is functioning properly.
