Abstract: The present invention is a removable paper module for use in a printer. The printer is a low-height, narrow-width printer used in home entertainment units. The removable paper module contains both an input tray to hold input media and an output tray to hold printed media and is inserted into the printer via the front plane of the printer. When clearing paper jams, the module is removed simultaneously by removing the input and output trays. When loading input media and retrieving printed media from the printer, the proper tray may be singularly removed.
