While an output tray is housed in the printer body, a tray support
supports the output tray in such a manner that has the output tray lifted
off a surface on which the printer is placed. In the process of pulling
out the output tray from the printer body, the tray support supports the
output tray in such a manner that the rear end portion of the output tray
gradually comes near to the surface on which the printer is placed, and
guides the output tray so that a rib, which is formed on the front end
portion of the output tray, and the rear end portion of the output tray
are in contact with the surface on which the printer is placed when the
output tray has been completely pulled out. The output tray is supported
on the two portions, i.e., on the rib and rear end portion thereof, when
it has been completely pulled out. Accordingly, it can be protected from
bending due to the weight of paper sheets stacked thereon so as to
prevent spillage of the paper sheets from the output tray even when the
stacked paper sheets are large in quantity.
