Abstract
An output mechanism printer which prints characters and images on recording paper includes an input path along which a sheet of paper is conveyed towards the printing unit, a cylindrical platen roller having a longitudinal axis of rotation which is orthogonal to the input direction, and an output device which moves the sheet in the same direction as the input direction, and then automatically moves the paper directly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the platen until it is outside the printer.
