Abstract
A printer includes a printer body and an automatic sheet feeder. The printer body has a case in which a printing mechanism and a continuous paper feeding mechanism are arranged. An upper wall of the case has a cut sheet supply port and a paper discharge port formed therein, both of which are located close to the printing mechanism. The sheet feeder is mounted on the case such that it can be pivoted between an actuating position, where it covers the supply and discharge ports, and a non-actuating position, where it does not interfere with the discharging of the continuous paper from the discharging port. At the actuating position, the sheet feeder supplies a cut sheet through the supply port to the printing mechanism.
