Paper discharging apparatus for printer

Abstract

A paper discharging apparatus for a printer includes a movement path having a first movement track and a second movement track for independently guiding paper printed in an image forming unit in a printer body and means for branching the movement path and allowing the printed paper to selectively enter the first or second movement track. A first indexer is installed in the printer body, which clamps a first sheet of paper that has passed through the first movement track, and which moves to a first selected discharge tray to discharge the paper thereto. A second indexer is installed in the printer body, which clamps a second sheet of paper that has passed through the second movement track, and which moves to a second selected discharge tray to discharge the paper thereto. Means are provided for elevating the first and the second indexers, and a controller controls the driving of the elevating means and the first and the second indexers.
