Cradles

RW 420 Vehicle Cradle

The RW 420 can be used in conjunction with a docking Cradle. When the printer is “docked” the Cradle will charge the printer’s battery and allow the printer to print, receive and transmit data as usual. The Cradle can provide power from a 12 VDC power supply either from a power take-off point in a vehicle or from an external power supply running off A.C. power. Refer to the documentation supplied with the Cradle for more information.

The RW 420 has software features which can automatically rotate the four display lines on the control panel 180º when the printer is docked. This allows for easier reading of the display when the Cradle is mounted vertically. Refer to Figure 21.

This feature is also available on the RW 220, but the command to rotate the display lines must be sent to the RW 220 when it is docked; it will not rotate the display text automati- cally.
