Means that the last few sheets of recording paper stored in a paper cassette or paper storage space are picked up at the same time. When this phenomenon occurs, not only is the paper wasted, but it also causes paper jams and deterioration of print quality.

Therefore, it is more difficult to shape the bundle of paper and align the leading edge compared to A4 or larger regular-size recording paper. In addition, any bends in the corners, etc., may cause obstacles in picking up paper or feeding paper inside the printer. In addition, because the paper size is small, the paper cassettes that store them have a small paper storage space, and it is very easy to arrange multiple recording papers inside them without tilting them. Not work.
  • the inventors of the present application have studied a method of setting a recording sheet bundle in a storage space of a printer or a sheet cassette without dispersing a bundle of recording sheets in a state where the recording sheets are packaged. .

Therefore, even when the recording paper is smaller than the regular size, the handling becomes easy, and the trouble of preparing the recording paper can be omitted.

However, there is an extended part between the last sheet of recording paper and the bottom sheet. Therefore, the environment or conditions for generating a frictional force on the last sheet of recording paper is the same as the environment or conditions of the intermediate recording sheet, and the last sheet can be used reliably. Since the package material is replaced at the same time as the recording paper, there is no problem such as a change in the coefficient of friction due to wear or abrasion of members.

That is, it is desirable that the extended portion be connected to the holding portion so that the position in the thickness direction of the recording paper bundled at the holding portion changes.

Appears. Therefore, the leaf spring 64 always presses the sheet 20 through the stretched portion 4, and the stretched portion 4 is applied to the sheet 20 as a substitute for the bottom plate with appropriately dispersed pressure.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un matériau d'emballage comprenant un lot de feuilles de papier enregistreur; une portion maintenant lesdites feuilles de papier enregistreur à l'exception, au moins, des extrémités avants une face; une portion maintenant la multitude de feuilles de papier enregistreur de manière à recouvrir au moins une partie des surfaces extérieures une face aux extrémités avants une face des feuilles susmentionnées regroupées au moyens des portions de maintien; le coefficient de frottement de la surface intérieure de cette portion étendue entrant en contact avec la feuille de papier enregistreur est approximativement égale au coefficient de frottement de la feuille de papier enregistreur. L'emballage des feuilles de papier enregistreur dans le matériau d'emballage susmentionné permet d'attraper les feuilles une par une par aboutement d'un rouleau de ramassage contre les extrémités avant des feuilles de papier telles qu'elles sont regroupées par la portion de maintien et, simultanément, d'utiliser lesdites feuilles de papier de manière fiable jusqu'à la dernière, pour autant que la portion étendue soit placée entre une plaque de fond et la dernière feuille de papier enregistreur tel un carton déposé sous le papier d'écriture.
