Keyboard printer print media transport assembly

摘要

A printer includes a housing having an upper side bearing a computer keyboard comprised of a plurality of keypads. The keypads are arranged to interact with a keyboard circuit board located within the housing. A print media entry slot is formed through a first side of the housing and a print media ejection slot through a second opposite side. A print media transport assembly is located between the keyboard circuit board and an underside of the housing. The transport assembly operates to draw print media through the entry slot into the printer during use. Preferably the print media transport assembly includes a belt disposed about at least two rollers and arranged to transport print media from the entry slot to a printhead assembly. A planar member in the form of a sprung metal plate is biased to maintain planarity of the belt.
