6820 Printer Installation Instructions
DC power cable (4 ft or 1.2 m - goes to printer)
P/N: 226-215-101
We recommend you connect printers directly to the battery based on the
following criteria:
• The vehicle battery acts as an electrical filter and regulator.
• If there is any damage to the printer dc power cable, the cable is easily
replaced.

Route the Cables

Use the following guidelines when routing the printer dc power cable and
the vehicle battery cable:
• Route the vehicle battery cable from the area where the printer is to be
mounted toward the vehicle battery.
• When possible, route the printer power cable along with existing vehicle
wiring. Use cable ties to join the cable and wiring together.
• Use a snap-in bushing (requires 9/16" hole) if the vehicle battery cable
passes through the firewall or other sheet-metal.
• Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other equipment or
vehicle controls.
• Ensure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.
• Secure the vehicle battery cable at least every 18" (50 cm) throughout the
cable run: use adjustable clamps (provided) or wire-tie to existing vehicle
cable runs.
• Completely install the printer power cable and take voltage measure-
ments before connecting the printer.
