Abstract
In a high speed printer, a system is provided for permitting paper feed optionally through openings at the front, bottom and rear of the printer housing. First and second spaced parallel arcuate rear guide members define a rear guideway leading paper from the rear opening to the front of the printer platen. Third and fourth spaced arcuate guide members define another paper guideway from the front opening; these front guide members terminate at a position forward of the frontmost plane of the rear guide members. A downwardly extending paper guideway, facilitating entry of paper from the bottom opening, is defined between the terminal portions of the front and rear guide members.
