Abstract
A device for clamping and guiding a continuous sheet paper supply to a printer utilizes an inclined frame that supports pairs of rods. The paper from separate supplies passes between the rods. If not in use, the end of the paper is clamped at a convenient location with respect to the printer by the gravitational force of the upper roller on the inclined plane against the paper sheet and the lower roller. If the paper is connected to the printer, the rollers surrounding the paper may rotate to allow easy feeding to the printer.
