2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a printer is mounted on a small electronic device such as a word processor. This type of electronic device with a printer does not have a paper tray that can be attached or detached, nor does it have a paper guide that prints paper continuously and holds the paper collectively. It was a structure to guide.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional electronic equipment with a printer, there is no one that can attach and detach the paper feed tray, and the paper is continuously printed and the papers are held together. There was no paper guide, and the structure was such that the paper came out one by one.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in an electronic device with a printer in which a paper feed tray can be attached and detached, it is not necessary to feed paper for each sheet and the same. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with a printer capable of continuous printing of texts and the like and capable of holding sheets of continuous printing collectively.

Further, in the present invention, in the case of one-sheet printing by manual feeding such as aiming, the paper guide is opened when printing without attaching / detaching the tray so that the paper insertion position from the printer surface can be easily checked. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic device with a printer.

Further, the present invention provides a structure in which the paper feed cover cannot be used unless the paper guide is opened to make it easy to understand how to use the paper feed cover. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with a printer that prevents the electronic device from falling.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided an electronic apparatus with a printer provided with a detachable paper feeding tray capable of storing a predetermined number of printing papers. A paper insertion port provided on the back side of the printer, a paper discharge port provided on the top surface of the printer, and a rotating shaft are provided, and paper is collectively held at the top of the paper discharge port during continuous printing. A paper guide, and a paper feed cover provided with a rotating shaft and provided on the back side of the paper insertion slot used for manual printing and guiding printing paper to the paper insertion slot. Electronic devices with printers.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic apparatus with a printer according to the present invention, wherein the paper guide comprises two cover portions of different sizes, and one of the cover portions has the other guide portion. The paper guide cover is configured to be rotatable, the paper feed cover is openable when the other guide is opened, and the other guide is open during manual feed printing. .

Further, the present invention has been made in order to achieve the above object.
In the electronic device with a printer, the rotation of one of the guides causes the other guide to cooperate with a part of the one guide to form one system.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention provides
In the electronic device with a printer, one of the guide portions forming the paper guide is that a projection or a concave portion for opening is formed.

[0011]

In the above arrangement, it is not necessary to feed the sheets one by one, and it is possible to continuously print the same sentence and the like, and it is possible to hold the sheets printed continuously. Also, in single-sheet printing by manual insertion such as by aiming, it is easy to confirm the paper insertion position from the printer surface by opening the paper guide when printing without detaching the tray.

Further, the feeding cover cannot be used unless the paper guide is opened, so that the method of use can be easily understood. In addition, the unnecessary feeding cover is prevented from being opened to prevent foreign matters from being mixed and dropped. Can be achieved.
