Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0043008A1] Apparatus for stacking a fanfolded paper web (10) from a printer. The mechanism positively guides the web (10) to a point of release (15) located away from the rear wall of the stacker (31) and includes a pair of guide surfaces (16, 44) at the point of release that urge the web (10) into a transverse bend to re-establish previous outfolds and maintain a natural flexibility in the web. The distance between the top of the stacked web on the stacker (31) and the point of release (15) is less than the distance between successive infold and outfold edges of the web. The stacker (31) is tilted and includes two levels (40, 41) of different distance to the point of release (15).
