What I used was the "3MT Dual LockT Low Profile Reclosable Fasteners". These
come in a few different shapes and sizes. Basically, it's a pliable plastic
strip that has little mushroom-shaped projections. Both halves are
identical, and snap together (which requires a bit of pressure). Once the
two halves are joined, you can flex the CIS arm up and down several inches
and the fastener holds firm. You could probably even lift the entire printer
up a few inches before the two halves release. The 3M adhesive is very good.
It stays in place, yet can be removed cleanly if need be.

I think Home Depot and a few other hardware stores may carry a similar
product in small pre-pack squares.

You can see what the 3M stuff looks like at
