Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a container that can accommodate roll paper in which recording paper is wound; a cover for opening and closing the container; a transporter, including a transport motor and a transport roller, that pulls the recording paper from the roll paper and transports the recording paper; a printing section that performs printing on the recording paper at a position facing the transport roller; a first substrate that has a controller controlling the printing section; and a second substrate disposed to intersect the first substrate, in which the transport motor is surrounded by the first substrate, the second substrate, and the container and a shaft of the transport motor is disposed parallel to a shaft of the transport roller.
Claims5
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a container configured to accommodate roll paper in which recording paper is wound;
- a cover for opening and closing the container;
- a transporter including a transport motor and a transport roller, the transporter pulling the recording paper from the roll paper and transporting the recording paper;
