  • Feeder tray and image printing apparatus having feeder tray
    Patent number: 6469811
    Abstract: A tray body 2 and a movable plate portion 10 can be folded each other. If there is sufficient space in an apparatus setting area, the movable plate portion 10 is opened, and cut paper is support by both a first mounting surface 3a and a second mounting surface 10a. If the apparatus setting area is limited, the movable plate portion 10 is closed and the occupying area of a feeder tray 1 is reduced. In this case, since an insertion port 16 is formed between the first mounting surface 3a and the second mounting surface 10a, paper feeding can be carried out even when the tray body 2 and the movable plate portion 10 are folded.
