Abstract: A paper transferring apparatus in an electrophotograph type printer includes rollers for transferring out papers from a hopper and through a transferrinng section to a discharge port, as well as first and second tractors for transferring continuous papers from the inlet port through the transferring section and to the discharge port. A motor provides a common driving source for both the rollers and the tractor. Clutches are provided for selectively connecting and disconnection the rollers and the tractors to the motor as a function of whether a cut paper mode or a continuous paper mode is selected by a control unit.

Abstract: A continuous paper folding device for a printing machine has a pair of thin elongated folding plates which are located at both sides of a paper transferring path for a continuous paper, provided by a plurality of transferring rollers and are arranged so as to be rotatable around the respective axes of rotation which extend in parallel to each other. When the pair of folding plates are operated by a driving motor, the folding plate are rotated in correspondence to rows of perforations formed in the continuous paper so that it is correctly folded in a zigzag form on a paper receiving table.
