Abstract
An information handling system dye sublimation printer stores paper in an enclosed tray that couples to the printer housing and transitions between a storage configuration and a print configuration. The storage configuration reduces the footprint of the printer by aligning with the length and width of the printer housing. The print configuration aligns the tray with a print mechanism to feed paper for printing of photographic information as an image transferred by the print mechanism. In one storage configuration embodiment, the tray removeably couples to the top of the printer housing to protect the printer's operating panel. In another embodiment, the printer housing removeably couples to the bottom of the printer housing. In another embodiment, a rotationally hinged mechanism connects the printer housing and the tray to transition between the storage and print configurations with reduced risk of separation of the tray from the printer.
