Abstract
The present invention is a set-top box integrated with a low-height printer. The printer includes an input tray for storing input media sheets and an output area for holding output media sheets. The printer further includes a printhead that scans and prints on the media sheets from the front to the back of the printer. The media sheets are stored in the input tray in a landscape orientation and are held in the output area in a semi-curled position. Alternatively, the media sheets are stored in the input tray in a portrait orientation.
