Abstract: A printer for printing copy sheets includes a copy sheet path. The printer has an upper surface with at least one access panel vertically opening on the upper surface of the printer for sheet path access. The printer also has an operator control panel for controlling its functions. The operator control panel extends out over a portion of the upper surface of the printer overlying a copy sheet path access panel and extending towards the front of the printer for improved operator access to the operator control panel, with the operator control panel being laterally slidably mounted to the printer to be movable by the operator to a position not overlying the sheet path access panel for which opening is desired by the operator or indicated by the operator control panel.

Abstract: A touch input system having a CRT with opposing rows of aligned LED's and photosensors on four printed writing boards forming a frame about the CRT screen and which establishes a grid permitting any spot where the screen is touched to be identified, and flexible circuits electrically and mechanically attaching the boards corner to corner to form the frame. In an alternate embodiment, individual circuit components are used, either alone or in combination with adhesive to mechanically attach the flexible circuits to the boards. In another alternate embodiment, a one piece flexible circuit with underlying supports along each of the four sides of the frame is used in place of the printed wiring boards.
