An inline printer assembly includes a chassis. A media supply bay is mounted on the chassis for storing sheets of print media. A feed mechanism is mounted on the chassis for feeding the sheets of print media from the paper supply bay along a feed path. A printer is mounted on the chassis downstream of the media supply bay for printing on media received from the supply bay. A binder binds printed media received from the printer. The media supply bay, the printer and the binder are configured so that the feed path is substantially straight.
