Abstract: A printer has a lower module and upper module. The lower module has a paper feed unit and a printing unit. A back of the upper module is hinged to lower module. A paper handling part holds paper after printing by the printing unit. A discharge unit in the upper module moves the paper out of the upper module while maintaining a hold on a rear portion of the paper and to draw the paper back into the upper module after an elapse of time. A container includes a support member that rotates into contact with and moves away from a lower part of the upper module. The container configured to receive and store the paper that has been drawn back by the discharge unit. The paper is stored in a region between the support member and the lower part of the upper module.

Abstract: A printer according to an embodiment includes a printing unit that prints on a sheet. The sheet is discharged through an outlet. The sheet is conveyed on a sheet conveyance path through the printing unit and to the outlet. A movable device is located on the sheet conveyance path upstream of the outlet in a sheet conveying direction. The movable device can move between a separation position, a proximity position, and a protruding position. A detection device detects a position of the movable device. A controller determines a conveyance abnormality of the sheet based on the state of the movable device detected by the detection device, and outputs a signal indicating the conveyance abnormality.
