摘要

PURPOSE: A paper discharge device and a print system thereby are provided to arrange and discharge first paper and second paper by restricting movement of the first large paper with the side wall of the chute box and restricting movement of the second paper with the side wall of the chute box ad the guide rib. CONSTITUTION: First large paper(OP) and second small paper are put into inlets(31) of a chute box(30). Movement of the first large paper on a widthwise guide member(40) is restricted by side walls of the chute box. Widthwise movement of the second paper smaller than the first paper from the inlet of the chute box is restricted with the side wall of the chute box and a guide rib(50). The guide member is inclined downward from the inlet of the chute box, and composed of a clearance(35) dropping paper in an opposite surface(33) faced to the inlet forming surface of the chute box to guide the movement of paper.
