Installing the Mounting Arm Description A mounting arm is included in Zebra accessory kit p/n AK17463-018. The mounting arm allows a more versatile method of positioning the RW 220 printer. It consists of an arm with a ball and socket joint at either end, which in turn are terminated with a mounting flange. One flange is secured to the Cradle by the four mounting holes provided on the bottom plate, and the other is secured to the desired mounting surface.
