10.3  MOUNTING BRACKET 

 

1)  Fit the printer into the panel and apply the mounting bracket as shown below. 
2)  Secure with two M3 machine screws or two cable ties, one at either side of the bracket. (all 

included in Ap1400KIT). 

3)  Open the lid of the printer, fit a paper roll and close the lid. 
4)  Connect power and data leads as described in the ‘

Connection Guide’

 in this document. 

 

 

10.4  FIXING ORIENTATIONS 

 

Ideally, the fixing orientation of the Ap1400 host panel should permit the free rotation of the paper roll 
in normal operation and its retention when the paper compartment is opened. The printer can 
therefore be mounted horizontally or angled to the limits shown below. 

 

Should you wish to use the Ap1400 in orientations that exceed these limits please contact Able 
Systems for advice. 

 

10.5  LOCATING THE PRINTER 

 

 

 
NOTE: The Ap1400 is a thermal printer and care should be taken to 
ensure that the printer and the paper it prints to are not subjected to 
extreme temperature or humidity 
 

 

NOTE: The Ap1400 is an open-framed printer. It is the installer’s 
responsibility to ensure the enclosure into which the printer will be 
fitted confers suitable protection from environmental factors and 
electrical and physical interference, as well as preventing user 
access behind the face of the panel.
