Abstract

A paper-separating device for prefolded continuous paper (12) which is drawn from a stockpile (11) a paper-transport device (44) and is fed to a printer, in particular a non-mechanical printer or photocopier includes a swivellable first deflecting element (32) is arranged between the paper-transport device (44) and the stockpile (11) and a second deflecting element (34) is arranged in stationary fashion in the swivel area of the first deflecting element (32). In a swivelled position of the first deflecting element (32), the paper web can be inserted into the paper-transport device of the printer. By swivelling the first deflecting element (32) into an operational position, the deflecting element grips the paper web (12) on one side and places it in the area of the second deflecting element (34).
