A conveyance apparatus for an ink-jet printer for ejecting sheets of recording paper from the ink-jet printer regardless of whether the cover to the printer is closed or open. The ink-jet printing apparatus has a cartridge including a print head for forming an image on the recording paper. After passing the print head, the sheets of recording paper pass through the conveyance mechanism used to eject the sheets of recording paper. The ejecting occurs by pressing a spring loaded star-wheel against an eject roller. However, when the cover is opened, the star wheel becomes disengaged with the eject roller, causing the paper to jam instead of being ejected. To correct this problem, the star wheel engages a second eject roller when the cover is opened, allowing the paper to be ejected instead of jammed when the cover is opened.
