Abstract:
A multifunction printer having a compact size and portable configuration while providing printing, scanning and copying functionalities is disclosed. The multi-function printer may include a paper handling assembly and a floating scanner assembly pivotably coupled to the paper handling assembly. The multi-function printer may further include a printer assembly coupled to the paper handling assembly. The floating scanner assembly is coupled to and aligned with a pick roller portion of the paper handling assembly and configured to scan and/or otherwise operate on a media supported within a document feeder. Thus, the multi-function printer may provide a wide variety of functionalities while maintaining a desirable compact configuration and portability.
