ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a printer with a gravity-fed print media path. The printer includes a print media supply station for storing print media. A print engine station includes a pair of print engines, and is arranged to receive print media from the print media supply so that duplex printing by the print engines can be effected upon the received print media. A binding assembly station is configured to apply adhesive along an edge of each sheet of printed print media and compile the print media into a bound stack. A receptacle station is configured to receive the bound stack. The printer can be oriented so that the print media sequentially travels between the stations with the force of gravity.
