You must:

•Mechanically prepare and install the RW 220 Vehicle Cradle

•Connect the power input cable from the vehicle’s electrical system if you are also using a Zebra Mobile Charger

•If you are communicating to the RW 220 printer with a data

I/O cable from the data terminal: Route the cable in such a way as to allow use of both the printer and the data terminal.

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.

If you are installing the optional mounting arm, remember the arm provides a considerable range of movement for the Cradle and Printer. This allows adjustment to the best position for the opera- tor. Extra clearance should be provided for this movement if it is desired in the installation. Refer to pages 18-20 for more information on installing the Cradle using the Mounting Arm.

Some models of the RW 220 have a Magnetic Stripe Card reader and a Smart Card reader installed. If these features are to be used, the printer must be located so that the operator will have clear access to the reader’s slots for these cards. Refer to the RW Series Users Guide for more information on the use of the Magnetic Stripe Reader/Smart Card reader features.

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

Caution: Mount the Printer and Vehicle Cradle where it will not interfere with the operator or cause harm in case of an accident.

Vehicle Cradle Preparation

Plan your installation with the above considerations in mind, and locate the Printer and Vehicle Cradle so that the operator can easily load printing media, operate the printer’s controls and perform routine maintenance such as cleaning the printhead. Follow these guidelines:

1.Select a location in the vehicle that will avoid personal con- tact in case of an accident.

2.If you are using a Mobile Charger to charge the printer, make sure that the input power cable routing does not invite dam- age to the cable. To avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges, provide the cable with proper bushings and clamping where it passes through openings.

Printer Preparation

Prepare the printer for installation into the Vehicle Cradle by installing the Battery prior to mounting the printer in the Cradle.
