A printer for eliminating a curl from paper to be printed, the printer comprising:

• a paper feeder having a paper tray for storage of the paper on a top surface of the paper tray and for feeding the paper into the printer for subsequent printing;
• a curl eliminator having a heightened portion comprising an elongated strip disposed at the top surface of the paper tray such that it opposes the curl of the paper thereby tending to flatten the curl and
• a mounting means for mounting the elongated strip to the top surface of the paper tray;
• wherein the top surface of the paper tray is ferric and the mounting means is a magnetic strip fastened to the elongated strip whereby the elongated strip is mounted to the top surface of the paper tray by a magnetic attraction between the magnetic strip attached thereto and the top surface of the paper tray.
