Abstract:
1. A method of making a printer comprising: forming a pin member on a first end of a duplexing unit, the pin member oriented in a vertical direction; forming a support member on a housing of the printer, the support member oriented in a vertical direction; forming a bearing surface on the support member that is substantially horizontal, wherein the pin member makes pivotable contact with the bearing surface; forming a latch projection on a second end of the duplexing unit, the second end of the duplexing unit opposite the first end of the duplexing unit; forming a hole in the printer corresponding to the projection; coupling the pin member to the support member for enabling the duplexing unit to pivot about a vertical rotational axis formed by the pin member and the support member and for enabling the duplexing unit to pivot to a closed position wherein the hole catches the latch projection for maintaining the duplexing unit in the closed position.
