PORTABLE DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM HAVING PRINT CAPABILITIES

摘要

A portable data processing system having print capabilities includes a portable computer having a housing, a print unit attached to the housing, and an ink container connected to the printhead of the print unit. The print unit includes a full page width ink jet printhead, a paper path, intake and output rollers, control circuitry, and electrical power and standard data protocol data connections with the portable computer. The use of a stationary printhead and a reduced clock rate allows full functionality of the print unit without sacrificing needed portability.
