A printer apparatus for a computer. The printer apparatus is suitable for integral mounting in the computer. The printer apparatus includes a move mechanism in which the ink tank moves relative to the recording head, and the distance of movement (i.e. scan speed) for the ink tank is less than the distance of movement for the recording head. This feature allows the capacity of the ink tank to be increased without increasing the width of the printer. The lower scan speed of the ink tank also means that a smaller motor may be utilized.
