ABSTRACT:
Tractor drives of a high speed printer move a length of continuous-form paper longitudinally up from a box of fanfold stacked paper, through a print mechanism and downward for refolding onto a fanfold stack. A set of bead chains hang vertically from the printer frame on each respective side of the descending paper. The chains are positioned to interact with the folding paper. The chains swing against the paper to aid in creasing the paper at the folds in the proper fanfold direction. Each set of chains include an upper chain and a lower chain. The lower end of an upper chain hangs substantially above the lower end of a lower chain. The lower chain interacts with the folding paper at the beginning of stacking to aid in establishing the refolding stack and continues to interact to minimize jamming until the stack height exceeds a range for proper interaction with the lower chain. Then the upper chain interacts with the folding paper in a range of stack height up to the maximum operating stack height to reduce paper jams.
