• a bottom housing portion;
• and
• a top housing portion hingedly connected to the bottom housing portion via one or more hinge elements, the top housing portion being configured to rotate relative to the bottom housing portion about a hinge axis defined by the one or more hinge elements to selectively configure the printer housing between a closed configuration and the open configuration;
• wherein the open configuration of the printer housing is defined at least in part by the top housing portion being arranged in a side-by-side arrangement relative to the bottom housing portion,
• wherein the plurality of internal printer components comprises a first internal printer component operatively secured to the bottom housing portion;
• and
• wherein the plurality of internal printer components further comprises a second internal printer component operatively secured to the top housing portion such that the second internal printer component is moved relative to the first internal printer component as the top housing portion rotates relative to the bottom housing portion, the second internal printer component defining a media support assembly configured to receive a media supply to at least partially define an arrangement of the media supply within the printer housing.
