Abstract
A hot melt ink jet printer includes a central opening provided on its main frame casing that can be opened and closed by one motion. An ink pellet setting opening to allow ink pellets of different colors to be supplemented separately is provided on the top surface of the main frame casing. An inner cover including an ink case that covers over the ink pellet supplementing opening and a side cover body constructed to be joined to one side of the ink case is installed, but allowing for vertical pivotal motion, to close the central opening.
