Loading apparatus and printer

A printer comprising:

• a paper exit through which a printed material is ejected;
• a support surface facing forward and inclined vertically downward from the paper exit and moreover configured to come into contact with a first surface of the printed material, the first surface being a vertically downward surface at the paper exit;
• a braking member provided near the paper exit and configured to come into contact with the first surface and to hold a part, which contacts therewith, of the printed material, wherein the braking member is an upper end portion of the support surface;
• and
• a stopper configured to come into contact with a downstream leading end of the printed material in a paper ejection direction in which the printed material is ejected, wherein
• the stopper is configured to be located at a first position and a second position on the support surface, and
• a distance between the second position and the paper exit is greater than a distance between the first position and the paper exit.

• a distance between the second position and the paper exit is greater than a distance between the first position and the paper exit, and
• the loading apparatus switches between a first state where the braking member comes into contact with the printed material and a second state where the braking member does not come into contact with the printed material,
• further comprising a cover member movable between an open position at which the printed material is able to come in contact with the braking member and a cover position at which a vertically upper side of the braking member is covered, wherein
• the first state is a state where the cover member is located at the open position, and
• the second state is a state where the cover member is located at the cover position.
