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 automatical-
ly rotate the four display lines on the control panel 180º when
the printer is docked. This allows for easier reading of the dis-
play when the Cradle is mounted vertically. Refer to Figure
20.
This rotation 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 auto-
matically.
Installing the RW 420 in the Cradle
Important • It is recommended as a safety precaution that the
adjustable shoulder strap be removed prior to docking the Printer. This
precaution ensures the strap will not interfere with proper operation of
the vehicle.
• Remove the Docking Connector Cover from the bottom
of the printer, and retain it for future use. (Refer to Figure
21.)
