Introduction to Installation

The MM4 Mobile Mount allows you to mount a QLn420, QL 420 or P4T printer into virtually any vehicle. A separately supplied DC/DC power supply appropriate to each printer model can provide a source of power to run and charge the printer’s battery from the vehicle’s electrical system.

Installation of the DC/DC power supply is covered in the Installation Guide supplied with each system.

In most installations, the power cable is wired to the vehicle’s battery power system indirectly through a power take-off point. Some models of the DC/DC supplies offer the option of accessing input power from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power adapter.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the equipment be attached directly to the vehicle’s battery or an AC power source without a proper fuse.

Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique requirements, mounting hardware selection and mechanical installation shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra recommends using self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock washers for installing the mount. The mount is pre- drilled for 1/4” (M6) mounting hardware.

Your tasks are to:

Mechanically install the MM4 Mobile Mount

Install the DC/DC converter system (if used in this installation) according to the appropriate Installation Guide

Connect the Data I/O cable from the data terminal (if used) and the output cable from the DC/DC supply system to the printer.

Decide where you will mount the printer, then proceed with the following instructions.

Installing a Terminal

When you are installing the MM4 Mobile Mount, you may also be installing a terminal at the same time. Follow the terminal manufacturer’s instructions for installing their unit. If the printer and terminal are linked together with a data cable it typically should be no longer than six (6) feet (183 cm).

Some installations may require the terminal and printer to communicate via radio frequency (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.
