ABSTRACT:
A media receiving unit is provided. The unit comprises a media receiver for receiving media (sheets of paper) discharged from a media processing apparatus such as a printer; a rotary member; at least a pair of flexible sheets for holding the medium and provided on the periphery of the rotary member; and a stopper for separating the medium from the flexible sheets. The flexible sheets hold a front end of the medium therebetween, are bent when in contact with the medium according to the rotation of the rotary member, and, when a rear end of the medium is released from the media processing apparatus, flip the rear end of the medium with an elastic restoring force thereof while holding the front end of the medium to reverse the medium and place the medium in the media receiver. Thus, the media are properly reversed and received in the media receiver.
