Abstract: A method of producing a printer so as to effect a low profile for sit/stand operations and to facilitate the removal of a jammed document from a print station in the printer. The printer is formed of a bottom portion and a top portion which are hinged together to enable these portions to be moved from an operative or assembled position and an open position which exposes the print station to facilitate the removal of a jammed document. The bottom portion has an overall height which is small relative to the overall height of the top portion so as to make the printer conducive to sit/stand operations. Latches are used to detachably latch the bottom and the top portions in the assembled and open positions mentioned.

Abstract: A tilt and swivel apparatus supports a structure such as a CRT display device above a stable base. Separate tilt and swivel mechanisms are provided to improve the stability of the apparatus. Stop elements limit the extent of tilting and rotation which is permitted. An internal passage is provided for cable connections to the supported structure.
