1. Introduction

Figure 1

The RDS ICP 300 In-Cab printer is an ultra-compact thermal printer designed
for easy paper loading. It accepts 58mm wide rolls up to 44mm dia.

The printer is connected to and powered from the instrument via a custom
cable with RJ-12 connector, and operates with a supply voltage in the range
10-35V dc.

No maintenance is required, except to occasionally clean the rubber paper
roller to remove any dirt buildup.
