Abstract

A paper collection tray for a printer, particularly for fan-fold paper discharged from the printer, is supported in a variety of angular dispositions by a body (l2) carried on a leg structure (l6). The body also carries first and second paper guides (22,24) for directing the paper discharged from the printer towards the rear, upwardly and then forwardly for disposition on a paper collection tray (l4). The body (l2) is vertically adjustable on the leg structure (l6) to accommodate different heights of printer, including printers using printer stands, and is horizontally adjustable with respect to printer depth.
