Abstract

A continuous form tractor drive (44) is disposed out of the way and out of sight below the printing platen (20) (which itself may be capable of feeding individual forms to a print station). The mechanical paper handling and printing mechanism is affixed to the upper portion (12) of a hinged housing (12, 14) with the continuous form tractor drive mechanism (44) depending therefrom such that, when rotated upwardly and rearwardly to an opened position, easy access is provided for loading paper into the continuous form paper drive.
