Abstract
A printer includes a sheet storage cassette and a sheet separation device for storing and separating individual sheets prior to printing, as well as a sheet deposit device for receiving of the printed-on individual sheets. A sheet storage cassette (2) is formed of two cassette sections (5 and 6), which can be pivoted relative to each other in order to achieve a compact construction of the printer in view of the space requirements of the sheet storage cassette. The first cassette section (5) is fixedly disposed opposite to the sheet separation device (11). The second cassette section (6) is formed as a flap cover (2), pivotally supported at the printer. The flap cover (2) forms the upper side of the printer in the closed state. The flap cover (2) is aligned with the first cassette section (5) in a flipped open state under formation of a sheet storage cassette (4).
