A hand held mobile phone device with integral internal print apparatus, the
device including a mobile telephone unit for transmitting and receiving
signals, processing means for processing the received and transmitted
signals into a printable form, a printhead and ink distribution unit
assembly attached to the processing means for printing out the processed
signals onto a print media, and print media feed means to feed print media
received from a supply external of the phone device to the printhead for
printing of the processed signal information thereon. Preferably, the
printhead is a page width ink jet printhead formed as a printhead chip
using MEMS processing techniques. In a preferred form, the printer phone
may be used with a separate print media dispensing device that includes a
print media storage region having a dispensing outlet and a printer phone
cradle to support the printer phone and align its print media inlet with
the dispensing outlet of the print media storage region. A dispensing
ejector mechanism is also provided that is operable to eject a
predetermined quantity of print media through the dispensing outlet and
into the printer phone print media inlet for engagement with the
associated print media feed means located in the phone.
