Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a thick paper to be smoothly inserted through a second inserting port, by providing the second inserting port and a guide passage enabling a paper to be guided toward a paper-feeding roller from a lateral side of a bottom part of a casing for a drive source. CONSTITUTION:A first guide passage 11 for a paper is extended from a first inserting port 4A of an electronic apparatus with a printer toward a paper- feeding roll 8 of the printer 2, and a second guide passage 13 for guiding the paper from a second inserting port 4B is provided on the lower side of a lower casing 6B. A thin paper is inserted through the first inserting port 4A, whereby the paper is supplied to the roller 8 of the printer 2 through the first guide passage 11. On the other hand, a thick paper is inserted through the second inserting port 4B, whereby the paper is supplied to the roller 8 through the second guide passage 13 and a guide rib 18 continuous therewith, and the paper can be smoothly guided to a taking-off port 5 in a natural state and be discharged.
