Hybrid printer and components thereof

摘要

A printer mounting base (4) is attached to the rear of a first printer (2) that has a cantilever structure for supporting a first printing section (21). The printer mounting base (4) has a cantilever (41), and a second printer (3) having an independent second printing section is mounted on the cantilever (41). A paper transfer path (42) defined below the cantilever (41) of the mounting base (4) forms an extension of a paper transfer path (23) defined below the first printing section. A control circuit board (100) for controlling the second printer (3) is mounted within the first printer (2) and is connected to the second printer (3) through opposing openings defined in housings of the first and second printers. <IMAGE>
