Abstract
Abstract A terminal is mounted on a base member of a printer support. The base member has a supporting member extending upwardly therefrom. A printer unit is mounted on the supporting member near and above the terminal. The operation portion of the printer unit is close to that of the terminal to achieve a high interactive operability therebetween. A control circuit board for the printer is mounted within the printer support and preferably in the base member which is relatively wide permitting the mounting of all control circuits for the printer unit on a single circuit board. The base member housing the circuit board can be made thin to reduce overall height of the terminal and printer support.
