Abstract: A printer having a fan folded output is provided with an output catching tray which cantilevers upwardly at an angle of 35.degree.-55.degree. from the printer output. The tray includes side walls defining a bottom which bears on the top of the printer. The sidewalls each define integrally formed hooks for catching onto the printer at any bar of fastening disposed in the area of the output. These books enable the cantilevered support to occur. At the bottom of the tray, an arcuate and cam-like surface is disposed against the printer output. This cam-like surface takes horizontal output from the printer and causes it to pass upwardly over its surface. The cam surface extends from an angle in the range of 45.degree. in vicinity of the printer to a slope beyond horizontal at the bottom of the paper catching tray. The end of the cam and the bottom of the paper catching tray form a notch.
