摘要

A sheet package which can be loaded in a sheet storage chamber ( 6 ) of a printer ( 1 ) comprises a stack of sheets ( 7 ) as print media for the printer and a package member ( 8 ) covering the exterior of the stack of sheets. The package member includes a first portion ( 53 ) covering one of upper and lower faces of the stack of sheets, a second portion ( 52 ) connecting with the first portion and covering a side face of the stack of sheets, and a third portion ( 51 ) connecting with the second portion and covering the other of the upper and lower faces of the stack of sheets. The first portion of the package member includes a first exposing portion exposing part of the stack of sheets to allow the entrance of a sheet feed roller ( 12 ) of the printer. The package member includes a second exposing portion exposing a side part of the stack of sheets facing pressing members ( 61, 64 ) provided to a side wall ( 3 b) of the sheet storage unit of the printer parallel to a sheet feed direction so that the pressing member can press the stack of sheets against a positioning portion provided to the opposite side wall ( 3 c) of the sheet storage unit parallel to the sheet feed direction.
