Abstract
A kiosk apparatus capable of mounting or detaching a printer is described. In an embodiment, the printer is fixed by coupling with a stand unit, so the printer can be easily and stably mounted on the kiosk apparatus by simply inserting the printer into the housing. In addition, the embodiment allows the printer to be easily attached and detached from the kiosk apparatus by disconnecting the printer from the stand unit simply by opening operation of the door of the printer without using a separate tool. Therefore, for the maintenance of the printer, the manager can easily mount or detach the printer.
