General Guidelines
• To attach an MF4 printer to the tray, your printer’s
cover must have a slot in the paper cavity. If your
printer’s cover is not slotted, contact Datamax-
O’Neil at [phone].
• Position the tray and/or printer with enough room to
properly open and close the printer.
• Position the tray and/or printer so it is protected
from environmental elements such as moisture,
tools, and boxes.
• Position the tray and/or printer in a secure area in
normal traffic patterns.
• Do not position the tray above, near, or relative to,
the driver’s position as to interfere with normal
driving operations.
• Position the tray and/or printer away from the
driver’s head to eliminate potential injury in the
event of an accident.
•Paper/sheet sizes: The paper and/or sheet(s)
cannot be less than 6” and cannot exceed 8” in
width.
•Cabling: All power to the printer must be fused.
Make sure the fuse box is connected properly.
Tray Orientation Guidelines
• The tray can be mounted on either a 90°, vertical
angle, or a 0°, horizontal angle (Figure 2) only; do
not mount the tray at any other angle.
