[0022] Specifically, when replacing consumables for the photo printer 20, there are two ways to move the photo printer 20 to the outside of the shell 10: Method 1, open the first side wall 11, and move the photo printer 20 and various components to the outside of the shell 10 at the same time; Method 2, only open the printer maintenance window, and move the photo printer 20 alone to the outside of the shell 10 through the second guide rail 31.
[0023] Specifically, the touch screen display 40 is used for parameter selection, photo fine-tuning, and photo preview when taking photos.
[0024] Specifically, the multiple components installed on the inner side of the first side wall 11 include a 7-inch payment screen, a QR code sensor or a bank card reader and other devices, which are used to complete the payment after taking a photo.
[0025] Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided in the shell 10 , and the plurality of reinforcing ribs form an internal frame of the shell 10 , and the two first guide rails 12 are respectively fixed on the internal frame; the two first guide rails 12 are respectively provided on the two vertices of the diagonal line of the first side wall 11 .
