Abstract
The present invention provides a paper holding device for a printer which includes a supply arm mounted for pivotal motion on a housing on which a printing station is held. The supply arm holds a supply shaft thereon such that at least the supply shaft may be positioned outwardly of the housing so that paper in the form of a roll having such a large diameter that it cannot otherwise be accommodated in the housing can be used on the printer.
