Choosing a location for the Paper Tray: 
1. Position the Paper Tray with enough room to
properly place a stack or box of tractor feed 
paper.  
2. Position the Paper Tray and paper so it is
protected from environmental elements (i.e. 
moisture, tools, boxes, etc.). 
3. Position the Paper Tray and paper in a
visibly secure area in normal traffic patterns.
4. DO NOT position the Paper Tray above,
near or relative to the driver’s position as to 
interfere with normal driving operations. 
5. Mount the Paper Tray and paper away
from the driver’s head to eliminate 
potential injury in the event of an 
accident. 
6. Hole
centers:
Left to Right = 5” 
Up & Down = 5” 
Recommended hole diameter for #8 screw is 
3/16” (.187”).

Installation of the Paper Tray: 
1. NOTE: VMP1000 printer must be installed
first for proper alignment of the Paper 
Tray. The alignment of the Paper Tray and 
paper to the printer is crucial. It may be 
necessary to use a leveling device to locate 
the Paper Tray properly. 
2. Before mounting the Paper Tray, make sure
there is adequate space between it and the 
printer for the amount of paper to be used. 
(Fig. 2). 
3. Mark the drill location on the mounting
surface (Fig. 3). Be mindful as to what is 
on the other side of the mounting 
surface. Use a 3/16” drill bit. 
4. Select #8 screws to secure the Paper Tray 
5. Top of screw head should not interfere with 
the paper stack or box of paper.
 
Note: The length of the screws will vary for each 
installation, and is to be determined by user.
