INTRODUCTION  
NOTE: Zebra technologies Corporation is not liable for personal injury or damage to  
any equipment caused by the improper installation of this equipment to any power  
source.  
The MMQ4 Mobile Mount system is designed to integrate a Zebra™ QL 420 Printer and a  
Zebra RCLI-DC Mobile Charger into the electrical and mechanical systems of a vehicle.  
Once installed it will provide intelligent charging capabilities for the printer’s battery and  
protection from accidental damage to the printer.  
The RCLI-DC series of Mobile Chargers are supplied separately from the Mobile Mount  
installation Kit. They should be installed in accordance with their installation guides and  
under the supervision of properly trained and qualified personnel. The following installation  
instructions pertain only to the mechanical installation of the MMQ4 mobile mount. Follow  
them closely to ensure safe, reliable performance of the QL 420 Printer in a mobile  
environment  
The printer is powered with its own battery which is charged by a RCLI-DC Series Mobile  
Charger System which runs off the vehicle’s DC electrical system. Refer to the RCLI-DC  
charger installation Guide for more detail on their use and installation.  
It is important that the vehicle’s electrical system be functioning properly. The vehicle’s  
charging circuit must work properly and vehicle-generated electrical “noise” must be  
minimized and within specifications.  
The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor over-charge the vehicle battery.  
Defective ignition wiring, damaged insulation, or faulty vehicle electrical components can  
cause electrical noise and excess electrical noise can be severe enough to defeat the  
electrical filtering that is built into the printer. When this happens, computers and printers  
can behave unpredictably.  
NOTE: All of these systems must be connected in strict accordance with the  
instructions in this document. Failure to install this equipment per these instructions  
will void the warranty.

INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLATION  
The MMQ4 Mobile Mount allows you to mount a QL 420 printer into virtually any vehicle.  
The RCLI Mobile Charger (supplied separately from this kit) can provide a source of power  
to run and charge the printer’s battery from the vehicle’s electrical system.  
Installation of the Mobile Charger is covered in the RCLI-DC Mobile Charger Installation  
Guide supplied with each charger.  
In all installations, the power cable is wired to the vehicle’s battery power system indirectly  
through a power take-off point.  
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the equipment be attached directly to  
the vehicle’s battery or an AC power sourcewithout a proper fuse.  
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique requirements, mounting hardware  
selection and mechanical installation shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra  
recommends using self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock washers for installing the  
mount. The mount is pre- drilled for 1/4” (M6) hardware.  
NOTE: Hardware used to secure the Mobile Mount to the vehicle is not supplied in  
the kit. Recommended fasteners are 1/4” (6 mm) diameter hex head or socket  
head bolts with flat washers, lock washers, nuts and/or locking nuts.  
Your tasks are to:  
• Mechanically install the MMQ4 Mobile Mount  
• Install the Mobile Charger (if used in this installation) according to the RCLI-DC  
Mobile Charger Installation Guide  
• Connect the Data I/O cable from the data terminal (if used) and the output cable  
from the Mobile charger.  
Decide where you will mount the printer, then proceed with the following instructions.  
Installing a Terminal  
You most likely will be installing a terminal at the same time. Follow the terminal  
manufacturer’s instructions for installing his unit. The printer and terminal usually are linked  
together with a data cable which typically is no longer than six (6) feet (183 cm).  
Some installations may require the terminal and printer to communicate via radio frequency

(RF) rather than cables.  
Plan your installation with these considerations in mind, and locate the printer so that the  
operator can easily load printing media and operate the printer’s controls.  
MOBILE MOUNT MECHANICAL INSTALLATION  
The MMQ4 Mobile Mount provides two basic mounting  
options, to allow maximum flexibility in location. The  
RCLI-DC Mobile Charger module is shipped  
separately. The Mobile Charger is mounted  
external to the Mobile Mount, depending on the  
individual location’s requirements.

It is important to leave a free zone around the printer to allow loading of paper and routine  
cleaning of the print head. Refer to Figure 2. In addition, the Mobile Mount allows for some  
rotation of the printer to allow the best positioning for the operator. Extra clearance should  
be provided for this movement if it is desired in the installation.  
NOTE: Mount the Printer where it will not hit the operator in case of an accident.

Attaching the Fanfold Bin  
If the printer will be using fanfold media, you must install the fanfold bin to the Mobile  
Mount. Hook the lip on the back of the tray to the corresponding “hooks” on the mobile  
Mount. Install a 1/4- 20 Hex head screw to the back of the center bar on the Mobile Mount  
which supports the fanfold bin and tighten it to secure the bin.  
Loading Media  
Follow the loading procedures found in the QL 420 User’s Guide. Note that if you are using  
Fanfold media, you must install the Fanfold Spacer (p/n BA16625-1) between the printer’s  
media supports. The Spacer is included with the MMQ4 Mobile Mount Kit.  
Note: The Mobile Mount is designed for a maximum loading of 12 lbs [5.4kg] including  
the weight of media. Ensure no extra items are suspended from the Printer, the  
Mobile Mount Bracket of the Fanfold bin.  
Printer Removal:  
There is no need to remove the printer from the Mobile Mount during normal use and  
cleaning. All access doors and controls can be reached with the printer secured in the  
mount.  
To remove the printer for servicing or repairs:  
• Un-plug the power cable and the data I/O cable (if installed.)  
• Remove the (4) mounting screws and their associated hardware. You can access  
the mounting screws through access holes in the Mobile Mount bracket.  
FINAL CONNECTIONS  
If you are communicating data to the QL 420 with a cable you must connect a “Data I/O”  
cable between the terminal and the printer. If desired, you can use one of the supplied  
cable clamps and a #6-32 x 1/4” screw to hold the cable in position. Consult the factory for  
information on the various I/O data cables offered by Zebra for use with a variety of widely  
used terminals.  
NOTE: This unit was tested with shielded cables on the peripheral devices. Shielded  
cables must be used with the unit to insure compliance  
Notes on Mobile Charger Installation  
NOTE: Always refer to the RCLI-DC Mobile Charger Installation Guide for complete  
information on installing the Mobile Charger.  
Charger Location  
Locate the Mobile Charger in a location convenient to the printer. Follow these guidelines:  
• Select a location in the vehicle that will avoid personal contact in case of an accident.  
• If you are using the Mobile Charger in conjunction with an MMQ4 Mobile Mount, place  
the Charger so that you can easily unplug the charger’s output cable from the  
Printer’s battery connection.  
• Route the charger’s output cable to prevent undue strain being placed on the connec-  
tion to the printer’s battery.  
• Make sure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.  
• Secure the Charger with #6 (3mm) hardware using the mounting flanges molded into  
the Charger cover. Insure that the mounting hardware will not become loose due to  
vibration by using locking hardware or prevailing torque fasteners.

Connect the Printer  
• Plug the output cable from the Charger to the battery connection on the printer. (Re-  
fer to the QL 420 User’s Manual for more information.) If you are using a MMQ4  
Mobile mount, it may be easier to plug in the charger connector before mounting the  
Printer to the Mobile Mount bracket.  
• Turn the power source for the charger on, and verify that the indicator lights on the  
Charger’s front panel are lit and the Charger is functioning properly. Refer to Table 1  
in the RCLI Mobile Charger Installation Guide for indicator display information.  
CONNECTING A TERMINAL  
If you are also installing a terminal in the vehicle, you normally must run two separate  
cables from the vehicle power source: one to the printer and one to the terminal. The  
terminal power cable must be either supplied by the terminal manufacturer or fabricated by  
the installer.  
It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the suitability of running a terminal from the  
vehicle’s battery.  
NOTE: Zebra Technologies Corporation is not liable for personal injury or damage to  
equipment caused by improper installation to any power source.
