An electronic apparatus comprising a case housing a printer unit. The case includes an upper case portion and a lower case portion. The upper case portion has a first recording medium insertion port, and the lower case portion has a second recording medium insertion port. The angle between the direction in which a recording medium is inserted into the first recording medium insertion port and the direction in which the inserted recording medium is carried in the apparatus is larger than the angle between the direction in which a recording medium is inserted into the second medium insertion port and the direction in which the last-mentioned inserted medium is carried in the apparatus.

Connection structure for connecting electrically and mechanically electronic components or devices, such as a printed circuit board, an LSI, an IC, a display device, a switch, a printer unit or a battery, by using a noise shield plate which is made from an electrically conductive resilient thin plate for shielding electrically the electronic components from external electrical noise and which is contained in the case. The connection structure greatly reduces the number of parts required for the structure and the number of assembly steps when assembling the structure, and thus the connection structure is provided at a lower cost.
