Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus comprising: a base to support the printing apparatus during operation; a wall extending at an angle from the base; a print region; a media input holder, the media input holder being substantially parallel to the base and located at a first plane proximate to the base, and the print region being located at a second plane distal to the base; a media advance system for advancing media along a media path from the media input holder to the print region, the media advance system comprising: a pick roller that is driven to advance a sheet of media from the input location; a turn roller that is driven to further advance the sheet of media received from the pick roller toward the second plane; and a feed roller that is driven to further advance the sheet of media to the print region for printing; and a pivotable cleanout member for allowing access to the media path between the media input holder and the print region, wherein the pivotable cleanout member is attached to the wall using a hinge having an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the base and, wherein the turn roller faces an inner side of the pivotable cleanout member when the pivotable cleanout member is in a closed position.
