Printer and printer display device

1. A printer, comprising:

a printer housing, which includes a plurality of outer surfaces including a bottom surface opposed to an installation surface, and has a recording paper receiving portion configured to receive recording paper through an opening portion;

a printer cover, which is coupled to the printer housing, and is configured to openably cover the opening portion;

a printer display device, which is removably mounted to the outer surface, of the plurality of outer surfaces, other than the bottom surface, and is configured to display predetermined information; and

a connection cable, which is connected between the printer housing and the printer display device, and is configured to communicate at least data related to the predetermined information,

the printer display device including:

a fixing portion separably mounted to the outer surface;

a display portion main body having a display portion configured to display the predetermined information provided thereon; and

a hinge portion configured to couple the fixing portion and the display portion main body to each other so that the display portion main body is displaced relative to the fixing portion.

2. The printer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printer housing includes, as the plurality of outer surfaces, at least a front surface and a back surface opposed to each other,

wherein the printer cover is provided on the front surface, and

wherein the printer display device is separably mounted to the back surface.

3. The printer according to claim 2 ,

wherein the hinge portion has a rotation axis extending in parallel to each of the installation surface and the outer surface to which the printer display device is mounted, and

wherein the display portion main body is coupled to the fixing portion so as to be rotated about the rotation axis through intermediation of the hinge portion.

4. The printer according to claim 3 ,

wherein the printer housing further includes, as the plurality of outer surfaces, a top surface opposed to the bottom surface, and

wherein the display portion main body is configured to be displaced by rotation about the rotation axis between a first position at which the display portion main body is overlapped with the fixing portion and a second position at which the display portion is positioned above the top surface.

5. The printer according to claim 4 ,

wherein the display portion main body is configured to be rotated within a rotation angle range of 180° about the rotation axis from the first position, and

wherein the second position is set to be a position at which the display portion main body is rotated by 135° or more about the rotation axis from the first position.

6. The printer according to claim 5 , wherein the fixing portion includes:

a first base portion separably mounted to the outer surface;

a second base portion having the display portion main body coupled thereto through intermediation of the hinge portion; and

a coupling member configured to couple the first base portion and the second base portion to each other so that the second base portion is displaced relative to the first base portion through intermediation of at least one auxiliary hinge portion.

7. The printer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hinge portion has a rotation axis extending in parallel to each of the installation surface and the outer surface to which the printer display device is mounted, and

wherein the display portion main body is coupled to the fixing portion so as to be rotated about the rotation axis through intermediation of the hinge portion.

8. The printer according to claim 7 ,

wherein the printer housing further includes, as the plurality of outer surfaces, a top surface opposed to the bottom surface, and

wherein the display portion main body is configured to be displaced by rotation about the rotation axis between a first position at which the display portion main body is overlapped with the fixing portion and a second position at which the display portion is positioned above the top surface.

9. The printer according to claim 8 ,

wherein the display portion main body is configured to be rotated within a rotation angle range of 180° about the rotation axis from the first position, and

wherein the second position is set to be a position at which the display portion main body is rotated by 135° or more about the rotation axis from the first position.

10. The printer according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing portion includes:

a first base portion separably mounted to the outer surface;

a second base portion having the display portion main body coupled thereto through intermediation of the hinge portion; and

a coupling member configured to couple the first base portion and the second base portion to each other so that the second base portion is displaced relative to the first base portion through intermediation of at least one auxiliary hinge portion.

11. A printer display device, which is separably mounted to a printer, and has at least data related to predetermined information communicated thereto through a connection cable connected between a printer housing and the printer display device,

the printer including:

the printer housing, which includes a plurality of outer surfaces including a bottom surface opposed to an installation surface, and has a recording paper receiving portion configured to receive recording paper through an opening portion; and

a printer cover, which is coupled to the printer housing, and is configured to openably cover the opening portion,

the printer display device comprising:

a fixing portion separably mounted to the outer surface, of the plurality of outer surfaces, other than the bottom surface;

a display portion main body having a display portion configured to display the predetermined information provided thereon; and

a hinge portion configured to couple the fixing portion and the display portion main body to each other so that the display portion main body is displaced relative to the fixing portion.
