ABSTRACT:
A modular image capture and printing system includes a pen-shaped printer with serial data bus connectors at either end. The system further includes a number of functional modules for connection to the printer. The functional modules include: a digital camera module; a memory module; a communication module; a photographic flash module; a timer module; an image effects module; an adaptor module; a pen module; a laser pointer module. The modules include connectors that facilitate mechanical connection and, in most cases, electrical connection to the serial data bus. In use modules may be selected and interconnected end-to-end to provide a desired functional assembly. The system further includes a print media dispenser adapted to connect to a media entry slot of the printer.
