ABSTRACT:
A paper discharge section for a printer having a printer body includes first and second support portions mounted on the printer body. At least one of the support portions is slidable towards and away from the other support portion. The first support portion can rotate between at least a first position at which the first support portion supports a first bottom side portion of the sheet of paper and at least a second position in which the first support portion does not support the first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper. A slidable edge guide for guiding a first side edge of a sheet of paper is provided and slidable towards the other edge guide. A linkage mechanism links the slidable edge guide to the first support portion to cause the edge guide and first support portion to slide together. A switch for reversibly moving the first support portion from a first position at which the first portion supports a first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper when the edge guide is positioned to accept paper that requires support to a second position at which the first support portion does not support the first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper when the edge guide is positioned to accept paper that does not require support upon discharge, and for moving the first support portion from a second position at which the first support portion does not support the first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper when the edge guide is positioned to accept paper that does not require support upon discharge.
