Output assembly for receiving a sheet output by a printing device

An output assembly for receiving a sheet of a recording medium from an output opening of a printing device, the printing device being supported on a support surface, the output assembly comprising:

• an output tray comprising:
• a lower tray element for receiving and supporting the sheet;
• and
• a guide element, the guide element being arranged to be moveable in a direction parallel to a direction of movement of the sheet when being output through the output opening, the guide element being positioned below the output opening,
• wherein the guide element includes:
• an extended state for receiving and guiding a leading edge of the sheet;
• and
• a retracted state to enable a trailing edge of the sheet to be deposited,
• wherein the lower tray element is independently supported on the support surface such that the lower tray element is moveable independent and away from the printing device,
• wherein the sheet has been cut from a roll-fed web of the recording medium, and
• wherein the output tray further comprises an upper tray element arranged over the lower tray element at a predetermined distance above the lower output tray element, such that a curled leading edge of a sheet is guided from the output opening over the guide element in the extended state under the upper output tray element and then onto the lower output tray element.
