PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a configuration preventing misalignment of sheets even when thin sheets are ejected onto a sheet ejection tray, without additional structural elements.SOLUTION: A projecting member 155 is arranged on an inclined surface 151a of a sheet ejection tray 150 for stacking sheets printed by a printer 100 and ejected through a sheet ejection port 140. A guide surface 155a of the projecting member 155 having a lager angle of inclination than that of the inclined surface 151a is arranged in an area closer to the sheet ejection port 140 than a landing position of a front end of a large sheet having the size larger than a predetermined value in the sheet ejection direction Y (an A3-sized sheet with its longer side extending in the sheet ejection direction Y, for example). By allowing part of the sheet landing on the guide surface 155a to cause friction against the guide surface 155a upon ejecting of the sheet, the speed of the sheet sliding and moving on the inclined surface 151a to the side of the sheet ejection port 140 is reduced, and the force which is generated when a rear end of the sheet abuts on an abutment cover 153 is reduced whereby the rear end of the sheet guided to the stack position is prevented from curving and misalignment of the sheet is prevented. |
