7193 Service Guide Chapter 2: Installing the Printer
August 1998 17
Mounting the Printer on a Wall
Use the wall-mount kit to mount the printer vertically on a wall. See “Appendix B:
Ordering Paper and Supplies” for information on ordering the printer wall-mount kit.
The kit contains a mounting bracket, screws with plastic anchors, and a label. Once the
printer is mounted on the wall, the operator panel will be upside down. The label corrects
this so the panel can be easily read.
Select a wall that is accessible, but away from main traffic to keep the printer from being
bumped or knocked off. Be sure there are no hidden wires or other obstructions in the wall
where you mount the printer. Keep in mind the length of the cables when mounting the
printer on the wall.
Be sure that the rubber pads have been attached to the bottom of the printer. The rubber
pads help the printer to fit snugly against the mounting bracket.
You will need a 1/4 inch drill bit and either a Phillips or standard screwdriver (screws are
combination Phillips and pan-slotted).
1. Using the bracket as a template, mark and drill a hole for each plastic anchor 1.25
inches deep.
2. Insert the anchors into the holes so they are flush with the wall surface and screw the
bracket against the wall, tightening the screws so that the plastic anchors expand and
hold firmly in the wall.
Do not overtighten the screws.
Note: Because the power cable and communication cable connect to the bottom of the
printer, they must be connected before the printer can be attached to the bracket. If you
haven't connected the cables to the printer, do so now. See “Connecting Communication
and Power Cables” earlier in this chapter.
3. Line up the tabs of the bracket with the slots on the back of the printer and attach the
printer to the bracket.
4. Place the label on the cover.
