Abstract
A printing station assembly includes a printer having drive means for feeding continuous form feed paper from a position below the printer, and through the printer. The paper is discharged through the rear of the printer where it is accumulated in a paper collection tray. The printer can be oriented in two different configurations, where the paper collection tray is either facing or opposing the user. To facilitate such alternate orientations, the printer has alternate locations for the printer control panel, one adjacent to the front side of the printer, and one adjacent to a rear side of the printer, and adjacent to the paper discharge side of the printer.
