Abstract
An adjustable paper handler for mounting or installing on a printer accompanying a desktop personal computer, telecopier, telex or the like is disclosed. A u-shaped rigid member having removable substantially flat sides angularly and integrally seated on at least a pair of back supports, which may also be removable from the u-shape member, is used to form the upper portion of the adjustable paper handler. The removable upwardly protruding flat sides of the u-shaped member removably and adjustably accommodates a flat tray having a lip to support a folded and stacked sheet of paper after emerging from the printer. The removable flat bottom side member of the u-shaped member has at least a pair of enclosures configured underneath to form the back supports to accommodate at least two extending removable prongs of a stand bearing upon the adjustable paper handler. The enclosures have a plurality of ribs, ridges, apertures or the like configured therein to adjustably accommodate the vertically protruding members of the stand.
