2. INSTALLATION
2.1. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The printer should be installed at the appropriate mounting angle, orientation and location to provide optimal conditions of use
by the operator.
The following important rules should be observed:
1) To reduce the risk of entry of dust or moisture into the printer case:
The unit should be mounted with the mouth of the paper exit slot in a downward direction.
Care should be taken that externally accumulated dust, water and oil, etc, does not enter when the lid is opened to
replace the paper roll.
2) The printer should be located in such a way that it does not hinder the normal operation of the machine controls or the
visibility of the operator:
The lid can be opened without restriction for replacement of the paper roll.
The operator has easy access to the printer to operate the printer controls.
3) The printer should not be located in direct sunlight or near any engine compartments which can become excessively hot. If
necessary a screen should be provided to shade the unit from direct heat and sunlight.
2.2. MOUNTING BRACKET
The LOADRITE LP930 | LP930-BT comes with a mounting bracket that slots into the rear of the printer.
To mount the printer, complete the following:
1) Push the lugs on the Belt Clip (MNT-BELTCLIP/BRKT-1) part of the mounting bracket into the slots on the rear of the
printer, then slide up until it locks into place.
2) Use the supplied double-sided adhesive to attach the mount to a suitable surface, such as the vehicle window or ROPS.
To remove the printer from the mounting bracket, press the tab at the top of the Belt Clip (MNT-BELTCLIP/BRKT-1) part of the
mounting bracket.
