The vehicle battery acts as an electrical filter and reg-
ulator.
If there is any damage to the printer power cable, you
will be able to easily replace that cable.
Route the vehicle battery cable from the area where
the printer will be mounted toward the vehicle bat-
tery.
When possible, route the power cable along with exist-
ing vehicle wiring. Use cable ties to join the cable and
wiring together.
Use a snap-in bushing (requires 9/16" hole) if the ve-
hicle 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 in-
ches (50 centimeters) throughout the cable run: use
adjustable clamps (provided) or wire-tie to existing ve-
hicle cable runs.
Completely install the printer power cable and take
voltage measurements before connecting the printer.
