PURPOSE:To make possible the adjustment of timing of release of a sheet of paper at the time of changeover of the direction of the discharge of paper during the operation of a machine, by biting a paper sheet discharged from a printing drum by paper discharge clicks of a paper discharge chain so as to discharge the paper with the discharge being changed selectively to a upstream positioned paper discharge section or to a downstream positioned paper discharge section. CONSTITUTION:The paper discharge apparatus of a paper sheet printer has the plurality of clicks 21 that are circulated by the discharge paper chain 16, and the paper 5 gripped by the clicks 21 is delivered from the left. When the paper reaches over a first pile 25 and a second pile 26 that are arranged in this order, a cam follower 24 abuts on a paper releasing cam 50 that can be tilted by the operation of a cylinder 63 and the clicks are opened to release the paper 5 onto one of the piles 25, 26, where the paper sheets are stacked. In this case, when an operation pipe 44 is rotated by a handle 45, the paper discharge change-over apparatus 41 positioned over the piles 25, 26 allows a paper releasing can 57 to move horizontally along a slot 60 by meshing of gears 51, 53-55 with a rack 62 on the cam 57, and therefore the timing of opening or closing of the clicks 21 can be adjusted. |
