Abstract:
A printer adapted for being selectively arranged on a substantially horizontal support plane either in a vertical working position or in a horizontal working position in order to operate for printing sheets in both the said working positions, said printer comprising an external casing with a first side and a second side which have a common edge free of protrusions and which together define an obtuse angle,wherein the various parts of said printer have masses which are distributed in such a way that the center of gravity of said printer lies inside said first side and inside said second side, respectively when said printer is placed in said vertical working position with said first side set directly on said horizontal plane, and when said printer is placed in said horizontal working position with said second side set directly on said horizontal plane, thereby guaranteeing the stability of said printer in both said positions,whereby said printer can be moved from said vertical position to said horizontal position, and vice versa, by rotating said printer on said horizontal plane around said common edge shared by said first and said second side of said external casing.
