Abstract
A printer for printing copy sheets includes a copy sheet path. The printer has an upper surface with at least one access panel vertically opening on the upper surface of the printer for sheet path access. The printer also has an operator control panel for controlling its functions. The operator control panel extends out over a portion of the upper surface of the printer overlying a copy sheet path access panel and extending towards the front of the printer for improved operator access to the operator control panel, with the operator control panel being laterally slidably mounted to the printer to be movable by the operator to a position not overlying the sheet path access panel for which opening is desired by the operator or indicated by the operator control panel.
