Ejection tray for a printer

A printer comprising:

• a housing defining a media feed portion and a media eject port, the housing being adapted to house a printer engine for printing onto recording media;
• a base positioned to receive recording media ejected from the media eject port;
• a receiving member connected to the base, the receiving member supporting a recording medium and creating a first curvature in the recording medium when a predetermined portion of the recording medium is ejected from the media eject port,
• wherein the receiving member holds ejected recording media after printing on the recording media and creates a second curvature in a central portion of the recording media after ejection of the recording media, and
• wherein the second curvature is greater than the first curvature.

A printer comprising:

• a housing defining a media feeding portion and a media eject port, the housing being adapted to house a print engine for printing onto recording media;
• a base slideably receivable in the housing, the base having at least a pair of recesses extending in a sliding direction of the base;
• and
• a pair of flaps, each flap being hinged at a first edge into a corresponding recess of the base, each flap being biased in an upward direction, whereby upon sliding action of the base out of the housing, the flaps are biased upward out of the recesses to a height corresponding to the position of the media eject port,
• wherein each flap includes a second edge, angled with respect to the first edge, and
• wherein, upon sliding action of the base into the housing, the second edge co-acts with the housing, folding the flap back into a corresponding recess of the base.
