Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus such as a laptop type Japanese word processor and a personal computer, and more particularly to improvement of a printing section.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The printer section of an information processing apparatus such as a Japanese word processor or personal computer, which has been rapidly popularized for personal use in recent years, has a built-in automatic paper feeder for the purpose of improving operability and is set in a paper cassette. A type of automatic paper feed has been developed.
However, since the printer cover alone cannot support the discharged paper after printing, a paper stacker is further provided on the printer cover to prevent the paper from falling, and the paper stacker was expanded and contracted to receive the paper. Was increasing. Further, there is a drawback that the paper feed guide at the time of wrapping printing is small and stable paper feed cannot be performed.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional information processing apparatus, the paper is ejected from the automatic paper feeder through the printer to support the paper, and the paper is further provided on the printer cover.
It was necessary to provide a paper stacker. In addition, the paper feed guide during wrapping printing was too small for stable paper feed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to reduce the number of parts by constructing a paper receiver for receiving paper discharged from a printer so that both the printer cover and the paper guide can be connected and used.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a printer in which a paper guide for wrapping printing, in which a paper discharged from a printer is attached to a rear portion of the printer cover, is integrally connected to the printer. The cover and the paper guide are configured to form an integrated paper receiver.

[0006]

When printing with the printer, when printing continuously, the paper is automatically fed from the paper feed cassette provided at the bottom of the main body, printed by the printer, and then ejected from the rear part, but the paper is supported by the printer cover. The length of the paper tray can be changed according to the size. That is, in the case of comparatively small paper such as postcards, only the printer cover is opened as a paper receiver, and in the case of A4 size or the like, after opening the printer cover, move the integrally formed paper guide upward. Thereby acts as an integrated paper receiver for the printer cover and paper guide. In addition, when the printer is to feed paper from the rear and print it in a rolled manner due to the limitation of the printer such as B4 size, the printer cover is opened, and the paper guide integrally formed is opened to open the printer cover and the paper guide. The integrated paper receiver is formed so that the printing paper can be stably fed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the usage state of a Japanese word processor which is an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a keyboard for mainly inputting characters and symbols.
A liquid crystal display device 2 for displaying input data input from is incorporated in a lid 3 that can be opened and closed, and its front surface is covered by a liquid crystal panel 4.
The structure is covered with. Reference numeral 5 denotes an external storage device including a magnetic disk drive device for storing the input and edited information, and is interposed between the main body lower case 6 and the main body upper case 7. Next, the structure after FIG. 2 will be described. 8 is a paper cassette, and the set printing paper 9
Is fed by a paper feed roller 11 provided in the printer unit 10. The leading end of the fed printing paper 9 has a curved portion 12
The direction is changed by the paper feed roller 13 and the paper is fed by the paper feed roller 13, and printing is performed by the print head 14. After printing, the paper is ejected by pressure contact between the paper ejection roller 15 and the cam guide 16. Reference numeral 17 is an ink ribbon cassette for printing.

On the other hand, 18 is a printer cover, and 19 is a paper guide, which is a paper guide pin 2 formed at both lower ends thereof.
Reference numeral 0 is pivotally supported in the lower fixing hole 22 of the slide groove 21 provided on the side surface of the main body lower case 6 so as to be opened and closed. Further, the lower end portion of the printer cover 18 and the upper end portion of the paper guide 19 are configured to be openable / closable by a printer cover shaft 23, and further, the fitting portion of the paper guide pin 20 of the paper guide 19 and the slide groove 21 is arranged along the slide groove 21. Move it
It is configured such that the printer cover 18 and the paper guide 19 are pivotally supported in the upper fixing hole 24 to form an integrated paper receiver. Reference numeral 25 is a power supply unit, and 26 is a control board for controlling the entire apparatus.

When a relatively small sheet such as a postcard is automatically fed and printed, as shown in FIG. 2, the printer cover 18 is used.
When only A4 size printing paper 9 is automatically fed to perform printing, only the printer cover 18 is opened and the paper guide 19 is opened as shown in FIG. Paper guide pin 20 and slide groove 21
It is possible to form an integrated paper receiver in which the printer cover 18 and the paper guide 19 are connected by moving the printer cover 18 and the paper guide 19 by fitting the paper cover 19 and the upper fixing hole 24. Also,
Due to the limitation of the printer unit 10, for example, when printing a B4 size or the like by winding printing, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to secure a paper receiving area similar to the above by simply opening the printer cover 18 and the paper guide 19. It is configured to be able to feed stably.

[0011]

According to the present invention, when a relatively small sheet such as a postcard is automatically fed and printed, only the printer cover is opened to serve as a sheet receiver after printing, and a printing sheet of A4 size or the like is used. When automatically feeding and printing, open the printer cover and open the paper guide to form an integrated paper receiver that connects the printer cover and the paper guide to increase the paper receiving area. did.
Further, due to the restriction of the printer unit, for example, even when printing B4 size or the like by wrapping printing, it is possible to secure the same paper receiving area as described above by simply opening the printer cover and the paper guide and to stably feed the paper. .
