Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A printer (1) for paper roll and label roll stock (40) has a substantially box-shaped housing (2) with main walls (3), side walls (4) and end walls (5), with a fixed housing part (6) and a hinged swing-out housing part (7), a paper/label roll compartment (30) enclosed between the fixed housing part (6) and the swing-out housing part (7), and an exit slot (8) in one of the main walls in the form of a straight-line parting gap separating the fixed housing part (6) and the swing-out housing part (7), and with a printhead (31) arranged in the fixed housing part (6) near the exit slot (8), wherein a hinge axis (A-A) of the swing-out housing part (7) is located in one of the end walls and runs parallel to the axis of rotation (C-C) of the paper- or label roll (40). According to the invention, the printer (1) is designed as a module or building block for use with different weighing scales and checkout systems where the same printer module (1) may be installed on different supporting structures (20) and in different operating positions, specifically in a horizontal operating position where the main wall (3) with the exit slot (8) is facing upward and the end wall containing the hinge axis (A-A) is facing away from the operator, and in a vertical operating position where the main wall (3) with the exit slot (8) is facing the operator in a horizontal direction and the end wall containing the hinge axis (A-A) is located at the bottom of the printer housing (2), wherein in the horizontal operating position, to load a paper- or label roll (40) into the printer (1), the hinged housing part (7) can be tilted upward and away from the operator, allowing the roll (40) to be laid into a first roll cradle (32) that is formed in the bottom of the fixed housing part (6), and wherein in the vertical operating position of the printer (1), the hinged housing part (7) can be tilted forward and towards the operator, allowing the roll (40) to be laid into a second roll cradle (42) that is formed in the swing-out housing part (7).
