Abstract

A print media handling system for a compact printer having a cut-sheet supply station formed in the lower portion of the printer housing and a rotatable print platen constructed and located to feed top sheets from the supply station through a print path ingress past a print zone and out a print path egress formed in the upper portion of the housing, includes (a) structure which mounts the supply station for movement to and from a sheet engaging relation with respect to the print platen and (b) a movable selection member that operates such movements of the supply station. The printer includes a supplemental inlet passage to the print path egress and the selection member includes structure for selectively blocking the supplemental inlet passage. The printer also includes a guide that is selectively positionable to alternatively direct egressing print media to either a sheet output zone or a continuous media output zone.
