A printer includes an elongate print assembly defining a transverse path
along which print media can pass. The print assembly includes a plurality
of printhead modules configured to print upon the print media. A support
structure is arranged to support the print assembly. The support
structure includes a pair of spaced legs which extend from respective
ends of the print assembly and each terminates in a respective foot. A
supply spool is rotationally mounted between the legs and is configured
to carry a wound length of the print media which passes along the path.
An uptake spool is rotationally mounted between the legs and the printed
print medium can be wound onto it.
