Abstract: A printer includes: a housing with walls enclosing a compartment, and defining an adjacent media supply chamber; a cover coupled to an end of the housing beside the media supply chamber, movable between open and closed positions to expose or enclose the media supply chamber; a print head to apply indicia to media from the media supply chamber, and cooperate with the cover to form an outlet at a front wall of the housing for dispensing the media; a frame within the compartment, defining a first mounting surface beside and oriented towards a second end of the housing, a second mounting surface with a portion orthogonal to the first mounting surface and oriented towards a side of the housing, and a third mounting surface oriented towards the front wall; and first, second, and third antennas disposed on the first, second, and third mounting surfaces respectively.
