Ink jet printer

A printer comprising:

• a printer body including a print section therein;
• a paper supply apparatus operatively mounted to said printer body and adapted to receive at least one sheet of paper on a surface thereof, said paper supply apparatus having a first edge guide for guiding a first side edge of a sheet of paper and a second edge guide spaced from said first edge guide for guiding a second side edge of a sheet of paper, at least one of said first and second edge guides being slidable in at least one of a first direction towards the other edge guide and a second direction away from the other edge guide to accommodate a width of a sheet of paper received in said paper supply apparatus;
• a paper discharge section, said discharge section comprising a first support assembly mounted on said printer body and a second support assembly mounted on said printer body and spaced apart from said first support assembly, said first support assembly supporting a respective first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper discharged from said printer body and said second support assembly supporting a respective second bottom side portion of a sheet of paper, at least said first support assembly being a slidable support assembly slidable in a first direction towards said second support assembly and a second direction away from said second support assembly;
• a linkage mechanism for linking said slidable edge guide to at least said first support assembly so as to cause at least said slidable edge guide and at least said first support portion to slide in unison;
• said first support assembly including a first support member rotatable between a first position for supporting a first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper with a first support surface and at least a second position in which said first support member does not support said first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper;
• a switch mounted on said printer body, said switch selectively causing said first support member to rotate between a first position for supporting said first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper to a second position in which said first support member does not support a first bottom side portion of a sheet of paper and from said second position to said first position.
