ABSTRACT:
A paper cassette for storing and supplying paper to a smart printer or copier includes a frame for holding the paper, a movable longitudinal paper guide within the frame adjustable to the length of the paper, and a pair of movable horizontal paper guides within the frame adjustable to the width of the paper. The two movable horizontal guides are linked together so that they move symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the frame. The longitudinal paper guide is adjustable independently of the adjustment of the pair of horizontal paper guides. The cassette further includes a first sensor connected to the longitudinal guide and a second sensor connected to one of the horizontal guides. These sensors travel along first and second predetermined paths in conjunction with movements of the longitudinal paper guide and the horizontal paper guides so that the positions of the paper guides are communicated to a controller which automatically formats the printing on the paper.
