ABSTRACT:
A paper supply tray of a printer, including: a main body, for receiving sheets of paper or other printable material, insertable into and detachable from the printer; a guide, for supporting an edge of the received sheet, capable of sliding in the main body; a locking mechanism for immovably locking the guide; and a plurality of position determining holes formed in the main body along a path where the guide is slidable. The locking mechanism has: an actuator; a pivot lever installed in the guide and having a hinge portion which is bent and contacts the inner wall of the guide, the pivot lever also having an upper end interlocked with the actuator; a stopper installed in the guide to move up and down, and to selectively interlock with the lower end of the pivot lever to fall down when the pivot lever is rotated to, thereby, be partially inserted into one of the position determining holes; a first elastic member supplying elasticity to get the stopper out of the position determining hole; and a second elastic member supplying elasticity to the pivot lever to contact the hinge of the pivot lever with the inner wall of the guide.
