<p>A non-impact printer system (10) is disclosed, and includes a paper diverter (18) disposed above the printer for receiving individual sheets of the printed paper seriatim from the printer along a printer path of travel (32) and for positioning the printed sheet temporarily above the printer at a rest position (B). The paper diverter (18) subsequently moves the printed paper sheets sidewardly from the rest position along a transverse paper path (34) at approximately 90 degrees to the printer paper path (32) to a storage position immediately adjacent to the printer to one side thereof to cause the series of printed paper sheets to be moved seriatim at a sharp 90 degree angle from the printer paper path of travel (32) to the storage position. A printed paper sheet storage unit (14) disposed adjacent to the printer at one side thereof at the storage position enables the printer and the sheet storage unit (14) to be closely spaced in a side-by-side configuration.</p> |
