ABSTRACT:
A modular printing device includes a chassis that defines a print media feed path. A housing encloses the chassis and defines feed and discharge openings to and from the print media feed path. The chassis and the housing are elongate and pen-like in size. A feed mechanism is mounted on the chassis to feed sheets of print media along the print media feed path. A pagewidth inkjet printhead is mounted on the chassis to carry out a printing operation on the sheets of print media. A controller is mounted on the chassis and is configured to control operation of the printing device. At least one connector is mounted on a respective end of the chassis to permit peripherals to be connected to the chassis. A bus interconnects the, or each, connector and the controller to permit communication between the controller and a peripheral mounted on the, or each, connector.
