<p>A partial mounting portion cover (180) that extends above and partially over the front portion of a chamber (80) for operably receiving a detachable printer component (24, 24a, 24b) therein. The cover (180) includes a substantially planar top surface (182) positioned over the toe-end (140) of the detachable printer component (24, 24a, 24b) when the printer component (24, 24a, 24b) is fully installed on a mounting portion (50), such that the cover (180) extends over the printer component (24, 24a, 24b) only by an amount that precludes the cover (180) from interfering with a toe-heel installation process. Accordingly, so long as the installer mounts the toe-end (140) of the detachable printer component (24, 24a, 24b) first, the mounting portion cover (180) does not interfere with the installation. However, if an installer attempts to install the printer component (24, 24a, 24b) in another manner, the cover (180) blocks the toe-end (140) of the printer component (24, 24a, 24b) from entering the chamber (80), thereby alerting the installer of the improper installation method. In a preferred embodiment, the cover (180) is pivotally secured to the mounting portion (50), biased to a neutral position, and has a visually distinguishable color from the mounting portion (50). <IMAGE></p> |
