Fanfold paper emerges from an outfeed slot in a printer along a paper guide extender and falls by gravity into a paper basket to resume its original fanfold configuration. The paper slides between the extender and an upper paper forming guide which is slightly curled at its lower end to force the paper against the lower end of the paper guide extender to cause the paper to neatly fan fold within the basket. A wedge-shaped member is preferably provided upon the floor of the paper basket to urge the stacked paper into an inverted, slighty V-shaped configuration to further assure neat stacking and prevent corners of the paper from catching a perforation in the paper which would otherwise prevent neat stacking.
