Abstract
A keyboard for use with a computer includes a housing that defines an input formation for the input of sheets of media. The housing carries a keypad. A pagewidth printer is arranged in the housing. A feed mechanism is positioned in the housing for feeding the sheets of media from the input formation through the housing along a print media feed path so that the printer can carry out a printing operation on the sheets of media. The feed mechanism includes a moving feed member that defines a substantially planar support surface along the media feed path.
