ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a paper discharge apparatus for collecting a remaining paper which the recipient rejects or forgets to receive so as to facilitate stable paper discharge. The paper discharge apparatus for discharging an arbitrarily cut paper from a paper discharge port comprising a paper feed means for feeding the paper, a paper discharge means for discharging the paper to the paper discharge port, a paper storage means for bending and storing the paper in the apparatus by operating the paper feed means alone while stopping discharging operation of the paper discharge means when the paper fed by the paper feed means is delivered to the paper discharge means in a paper discharge mode, and a paper collection means for collecting the paper in the apparatus when the paper discharged to the paper discharge port is not removed during a given time. The paper discharge apparatus with this structure enhances reliability of the paper discharging operation, and enables continuous and stable paper discharging operation by preventing a discharged paper from being left in the apparatus so as to eliminate a possible obstruction of a succeeding operation.
