Abstract
A paper transfer assembly is provided which includes a p reversibly rotatable drive motor, a paper transfer roller for transferring a paper, a first transmission mechanism connected to the paper transfer roller, and a second transmission mechanism separate from the first transmission mechanism. The second transmission mechanism may be used to drive a cutter device for automatically cutting the paper. Alternatively, the second transmission mechanism may be utilized for reversely moving the paper by providing a reversal mechanism for connecting the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism.
