Claims10
Printer, comprising
- a printhead,
- a roller having a rotation axis and operable to feed print media in a downstream direction perpendicular to the rotation axis,
- a media support arranged downstream of the roller under the printhead, the media support comprising a bottom section, a front section extending up from the bottom section, and side walls extending up from the bottom section and having top surfaces exposed to support print media received from the roller above the bottom section, and
- a pickup arm attached to the front section of the media support and engaging the roller, wherein the pickup arm is pivotable about a pivot axis parallel to the rotation axis of the roller and extends from the front section of the media support to a distal end that slides over the roller and supports the print media from the roller to the top surfaces of the side walls of the media support to prevent the print media from passing between the roller and the media support.
