What This Mount Does
The RAM Vehicle Pole Mount for Mobile Printers with Rear Feed (model RAM-VPR-107-1) is designed to securely hold a rear-feed mobile printer in a vehicle using a spring-loaded cradle. The mount attaches to any RAM Tele-Pole or other pole with a diameter between 1.25" and 1.5", making it a practical choice for fleet vehicles, service trucks, or emergency response setups where a printer needs to be within reach but safely stored.
Installation Steps
The following steps are based on the mount's design and included components. Always verify compatibility with your specific printer and pole before starting.
- 1. Identify Your Pole Diameter: The included round pipe base fits poles with a diameter from 1.25" to 1.5". Measure your vehicle's pole to ensure it falls within this range. The mount is designed for RAM Tele-Pole products and similar poles.
- 2. Attach the Round Pipe Base to the Pole: Secure the round pipe base around the pole at your desired height. Tighten the hardware to hold the base firmly in place. The base connects to a standard length arm included in the kit.
- 3. Install the Spring-Loaded Cradle: The spring-loaded cradle uses a unique mechanism that holds the printer securely while allowing easy removal for storage. Attach the cradle to the arm using the provided hardware.
- 4. Position the Side Clamp Plates: At each end of the spring-loaded cradle are small side clamp plates. These plates are designed to fit cleanly around either edge of the printer. Adjust them so they grip the printer edges without obstructing the rear feed slot.
- 5. Insert the Printer: Slide the printer into the cradle so the rear feed is accessible. The spring-loaded mechanism will hold the printer firmly. To remove the printer, release the spring tension and lift the printer out.

What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The catalog details do not include specific printer dimensions or weight limits for the cradle. Before installing, measure your printer's width and depth to ensure it fits between the side clamp plates. The mount is intended for rear-feed printers, but compatibility with specific models (e.g., Zebra, Brother, or Epson) is not confirmed in the available information. If your printer has a different feed orientation, the mount may not work as intended.
