Introduction

The IntermecRPK80F 80-Column Fixed Mount Printer can

hang on a wall, on a mounting plate secured to a wall, or se-

cured directly to a wall. Mobile computers communicate with

this printer through a wireless radio or a wired serial connection.

There is no internal paper tray, thus paper is loaded from a sepa-

rate dashboard mount, compact paper tray, or a box. The print-

er mechanism is permanently attached inside the printer.

green thumb wheel as possible, then locking the pinfeed holder

tab, before adjusting the opposite pinfeed holder.
