Abstract
A printer case adaptable to print individual sheets of paper and fan-fold computer paper has a bottom case and a cover pivotably supported on the cover. The printer components are supported within the bottom case and a sheet guide is pivotably supported on the cover. The sheet guide pivots between a first position for guiding individual sheets into the printer and a second position for guiding fan-fold paper out of the printer once printing has occurred. A coupling structure is provided for pivotably coupling the cover to the bottom so that the cover may pivot between a first position in which the cover is closed to permit printing to occur and a second position in which the cover is open to expose the printer components and permit insertion of fan-fold paper.
