Abstract
A printer for a portable computer receives the computer into a well and includes a connector plug that receives a connector socket of the computer. The printer restricts the orientation of the computer when the computer is inserted into the well so that the computer connector can be engaged with the printer's connector only after the computer has been placed in the well and moved along a predetermined axis.
