Abstract
A combination printer stand and paper refolding apparatus for use with an associated printer and associated fanfold paper which includes, in one form, a printer receiving shelf dimensioned and configured for holding a printer, and a paper receiving shelf dimensioned and configured for receiving paper on which printing has been completed. The paper receiving shelf is disposed substantially beneath the printer receiving shelf and the second paper receiving shelf is formed from a plurality of wire members. The printer stand includes other apparatus for directing the path of the associated fanfold paper leaving the associated printer to the paper receiving shelf and to cause refolding of the associated paper on the paper receiving shelf. The paper receiving shelf has an elongated peak intermediate the boundaries of the shelf. The apparatus for directing the path of the associated fanfold paper may include a pivotable mounted member. An anti-sag shelf may be included to direct the paper. The anti-sag shelf is generally planar and which is disposed in closely spaced, substantially parallel relationship to the underside of the printer receiving shelf.
