Modular printer system with memory and printer modules

摘要

A hand-held modular printer system is provided for printing a stored image. The printer system includes a memory module in which the image can be stored. A printer module can be releasably interconnected with the memory module. The printer module includes an elongate body defining a transverse print media passage and a printer which is arranged within the body so that the stored image can be printed onto print media which passes through the passage. A print media dispenser module defines a print media outlet and can be releasably interconnected with the printer module so that the outlet is in register with the passage. The dispenser module is configured to store a stack of sheets of print media and includes a dispensing mechanism which can be used to dispense an outermost sheet of the stack through the outlet and into the passage for printing.
