ABSTRACT:
A tray assembly for a full color thermal transfer type printer is disclosed. The printing mechanism of the printer including a roller platen moves the sheet of printing paper under printing several times forward and backward to effect a full color printing. The tray assembly comprises a discharge tray at the top, a paper guide formed integrally thereunder, and a manual feed tray detachably attached to the underside of the paper guide. The paper guide form an extension of the return paper passage of the printer into which the sheet of paper enters when it is moved backward. The tray assembly further comprises a pair of plate-shaped adapters detachably attached to the interior sides of the side walls of the manual feed tray; thus, the interior side surfaces of the adapters determine, when attached to the manual feed tray, the lateral position of the sheet of paper fed into the printer from the manual feed tray. When the manual feed tray is used without the adapters, the interior side surfaces of the side walls of the manual feed tray determine the lateral position of a manually fed sheet of paper.
