A postal workstation for high volume computerized printing of labels, cards,
an
the like comprises a main support surface including a front portion and a rear
portion,
wherein the front portion includes an open cut-out region for a person to
stand within to
comfortably reach the rear portion, which is intended to support primary and
secondary
printers and a monitor mount. A worksurface pivotally connected to the support
surface
adjacent a lateral side of the cut-out region is movable between a working
position
wherein the worksurface covers the cut-out region and provides area for a
keyboard and
mouse, and a servicing position wherein said cut-out region is exposed for
facilitating
worker access to the rear portion of the main support surface for printer
maintenance. A
storage compartment adjacent an opposite lateral side of the cut-out region
has an
upwardly facing compartment opening covered by the worksurface when the
worksurface
is in a working position. The workstation further comprises an auxiliary
support surface
slidably mounted on the main support surface for travel along a path extending
between
the rear and front portions of the main support surface so that a secondary
printer
supported thereby can be easily accessed. A tray is supported for movement
between a
working position above the path of the auxiliary support surface, where it
receives output
from the secondary printer, and a servicing position removed from above the
path of the
auxiliary support surface so as not to block forward positioning of the
secondary printer.
