- a door 11 is installed in a printer or copier to be capable of being opened or closed so that a user can see the inside of a main body 10 if necessary.
- the door 11 is needed not only to repair the inside of the printer but also to pull up a paper S which is jammed in the middle of a transfer path after being supplied from a cassette 12 during printing. That is, when a paper jam occurs during the printing, the user opens the door 11 , pulls up the paper S jammed in the middle of the paper transfer path, and resumes printing.
- FIGS. 1 through 2B a paper guide structure in the main body 10 forming the transfer path of the paper S supplied from the cassette 12 is shown in FIGS. 1 through 2B.
- the guide structure includes a guide plate 11 a provided inside the door 11 so that the paper S can pass while one surface of the paper S contacts the guide plate 11 a , a paper guide member 16 fixed to a main body frame 10 a , and a main feed roller 14 .
- the guide structure further includes an auxiliary feed roller 15 , and backup rollers 14 a and 15 a corresponding to the main feed roller 14 and the auxiliary feed roller 15 , respectively, which are rotatably installed at the main body frame 10 a to transfer the paper S by catching it.

- the jammed paper S needs to be pulled up by opening the door 11 . If printing is in an initial state in which a leading end portion of the paper S is caught between the main feed roller 14 and the backup roller 14 a , the jammed paper S can be released by being pulled toward the cassette 12 . However, when the leading end portion of the paper S is caught between the auxiliary feed roller 15 and the backup roller 15 a , as shown in FIG. 2A, since the paper S cannot be released toward the cassette 12 , the paper jam requires more attention. In this case, the paper S can be pulled up in one of directions A of FIG. 2B and B or C of FIG. 2A.
- pulling in the direction A causes a high possibility of tearing the paper S. That is, since the side end portion of the paper S is caught by the main feed roller 14 , the auxiliary feed roller 15 , and the backup rollers 14 a and 15 a , if the paper S is pulled up in the direction A (which is the axial direction of the respective rollers 14 , 14 a , 15 , and 15 a ), the paper S is highly likely to be torn, since the side end portion of the paper S is essentially clamped.
- the paper guide member 16 is installed above the auxiliary feed roller 15 in the frame 10 a , when the paper S is pulled up in the direction C, the paper S is released while it is folded by an end portion of the guide member 16 and pulled in contact with the end portion, with friction, as shown in FIG. 2A and portion D of FIG. 2B. Then, the paper S is scratched by the end portion of the guide member 16 and, in some cases, is highly likely to be torn. As a result, not only is the paper not usable, but also a remaining piece of the paper S needs to be pulled up.

- 2. Description of the Related Art
- As shown in FIG. 1, a
door 11 is installed in a printer or copier to be capable of being opened or closed so that a user can see the inside of amain body 10 if necessary. Thedoor 11 is needed not only to repair the inside of the printer but also to pull up a paper S which is jammed in the middle of a transfer path after being supplied from acassette 12 during printing. That is, when a paper jam occurs during the printing, the user opens thedoor 11, pulls up the paper S jammed in the middle of the paper transfer path, and resumes printing. - In the meantime, a paper guide structure in the
main body 10 forming the transfer path of the paper S supplied from thecassette 12 is shown in FIGS. 1 through 2B. The guide structure includes aguide plate 11 a provided inside thedoor 11 so that the paper S can pass while one surface of the paper S contacts theguide plate 11 a, apaper guide member 16 fixed to amain body frame 10 a, and amain feed roller 14. The guide structure further includes anauxiliary feed roller 15, andbackup rollers main feed roller 14 and theauxiliary feed roller 15, respectively, which are rotatably installed at themain body frame 10 a to transfer the paper S by catching it. Abracket 15 b supports theauxiliary feed roller 15. Thus, the paper S drawn from thecassette 12 guided by thepaper guide member 16 passes theguide plate 11 a and between themain feed roller 14, theauxiliary feed roller 15, and thebackup rollers transfer roller 13. - However, when a paper jam occurs in the middle of the paper transfer path, the jammed paper S needs to be pulled up by opening the
door 11. If printing is in an initial state in which a leading end portion of the paper S is caught between themain feed roller 14 and thebackup roller 14 a, the jammed paper S can be released by being pulled toward thecassette 12. However, when the leading end portion of the paper S is caught between theauxiliary feed roller 15 and thebackup roller 15 a, as shown in FIG. 2A, since the paper S cannot be released toward thecassette 12, the paper jam requires more attention. In this case, the paper S can be pulled up in one of directions A of FIG. 2B and B or C of FIG. 2A. However, pulling in the direction A causes a high possibility of tearing the paper S. That is, since the side end portion of the paper S is caught by themain feed roller 14, theauxiliary feed roller 15, and thebackup rollers respective rollers - When the paper S is pulled up in the direction B, the possibility of tearing the paper S is low since the
rollers door 11 is open so that the paper S can be pulled up by avoiding interference with other units and rotating therollers paper guide member 16 is installed above theauxiliary feed roller 15 in theframe 10 a, when the paper S is pulled up in the direction C, the paper S is released while it is folded by an end portion of theguide member 16 and pulled in contact with the end portion, with friction, as shown in FIG. 2A and portion D of FIG. 2B. Then, the paper S is scratched by the end portion of theguide member 16 and, in some cases, is highly likely to be torn. As a result, not only is the paper not usable, but also a remaining piece of the paper S needs to be pulled up. - Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a printer having a paper guide structure to prevent tearing of paper when a jammed paper is removed so that a stable paper jam solution is guaranteed.
- Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
- The foregoing and/or other aspects may be achieved by providing a printer having a paper guide structure including a paper feeding portion to feed a paper; a transfer path; a first feed roller to move the fed paper along the transfer path; a second feed roller to receive the paper moved by the first feed roller and to transfer the paper along the transfer path; a guide member between the first and second feed rollers and the transfer path and to guide the paper along the transfer path; a main body; and a door installed at the main body to be opened and closed, wherein an empty space is formed toward the door at a rear of the second feed roller so that, when the door is opened and a leading end of the paper passing the second feed roller is pulled, the paper is discharged along an outer circumferential surface of the second feed roller.
- These and/or other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
- FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a printer adopting a conventional paper guide structure;
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are views illustrating the paper guide structure of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a printer adopting a paper guide structure according to an embodiment of the present invention;
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are views illustrating the paper guide structure of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5A is a view illustrating portions of the paper guide structure of FIG. 3; and
- FIG. 5B is a magnified view illustrating portion A of FIG. 5A.
- Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
- Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4A, a
door 110 is installed to be opened or closed with respect to amain body 100 of a printer. Aguide plate 111 is installed on an inner surface of thedoor 110 so that one surface of a paper S proceeds while contacting theguide plate 111. Thus, when thedoor 110 is closed, theguide plate 111 is disposed at one side of a paper transfer path to support one surface of the paper S. Also, afirst feed roller 140 and afirst backup roller 141, and asecond feed roller 150 and asecond backup roller 151 to transfer the paper S toward atransfer roller 130 by catching a side end portion of the paper S supplied from acassette 120 which is a paper supply portion, are installed on aframe 101 at themain body 100 of the printer along the paper transfer path. That is, the paper S supplied from thecassette 120 enters the paper transfer path by being caught between thefirst feed roller 140 and thefirst backup roller 141. Next, the paper S is continuously transferred by being caught between thesecond feed roller 150 and the second back uproller 151 and transferred toward thetransfer roller 130.Reference numeral 160 denotes a guide member provided on theframe 101 to prevent the paper S from deviating from the paper transfer path. Theguide member 160 is provided between the first andsecond feed rollers second backup rollers second backup roller 151. Theguide member 160 is not arranged at the rear of thesecond feed roller 150. This arrangement forms an empty space around a portion facing thedoor 110 at the rear of thesecond feed roller 150. For this purpose, abracket 152 fixed to theframe 101 to support a rotation shaft of thesecond feed roller 150 has a “V” shape so that thebracket 152 does not protrude toward the portion facing thedoor 110 at the rear of thesecond feed roller 150. Then, when thedoor 110 is opened to pull the jammed paper S, the paper S is smoothly pulled up along the outer circumferential surface of thesecond feed roller 150. Instead of theguide member 160, anauxiliary guide portion 112 to act as theguide member 160 is provided at thedoor 110 at the rear of thesecond feed roller 150 of theframe 101, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Thus, when thedoor 110 is closed, theauxiliary guide portion 112 guides the paper S together with theguide member 160. Since theauxiliary guide portion 112 is provided at thedoor 110, it does not interfere with the paper S when the paper S is pulled up from the paper transfer path after thedoor 110 is opened. - When a print job is processed, the paper S supplied from the
cassette 120 is transferred by the first andsecond feed rollers transfer roller 130. An image is transferred to one surface of the paper S and the paper S is discharged out of the printer. - When a paper jam occurs during the print process, the jammed paper S must be removed. If the paper S is jammed shortly after a leading end of the paper S is caught between the
first feed roller 140 and thefirst backup roller 141, the jammed paper S can be easily removed by being pulled up from the side of thecassette 120. However, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the leading end of the paper S has already passed between thesecond feed roller 150 and thesecond backup roller 151, and when the trailing end of the paper S has already escaped from thecassette 120 and is caught between thefirst feed roller 140 and thefirst backup roller 141, since the paper S cannot be moved back to thecassette 120, thedoor 110 is opened and the paper S is pulled up from the side of the openeddoor 110. Thus, in this state, when the paper S is pulled up by holding the leading end thereof from the side of the openeddoor 110, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the paper S is removed as it contacts and slides along the outer circumferential surface of thesecond feed roller 150. That is, the space around thedoor 110 at the rear of thesecond feed roller 150 is empty because no member, such as the guide member, is present to interfere with the paper S. Thus, the paper S escapes from thesecond feed roller 150 while it contacts only the outer circumferential surface of thesecond feed roller 150 and rotates thesecond feed roller 150, so that the paper S can be smoothly removed. - Therefore, in the paper guide structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, when a paper jam where the paper S is caught between the first and
second feed rollers door 110 and pulling up the leading end of the paper S, since the paper S is discharged without being scratched by other elements while it rotates thesecond feed roller 150, the paper does not receive a tearing friction. As a result, the time to process the paper jam is reduced so that a prompt printer repair job is possible. - As described above, in the paper guide structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, the problem of torn paper during a paper jam process is solved so that a paper jam can be promptly and conveniently solved.
- Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in this embodiment without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
