Abstract
A recording apparatus such as a facsimile machine records information on recording paper having a curved characteristic, such as a roll of recording paper. After recording, the recording paper is cut by a cutting device. A wedge-shaped plate, which functions as a jam prevention device, supports the rear end of stacked sheets of cut recording paper below the cutting position of the cutting device. Since the rear end of the lower side of the cut recording paper is supported by the jam prevention device along at least a portion of its curled length, even if the cut recording paper has a strong tendency to curl, the next sheet of recording paper slides on the previously cut recording paper because it is securely supported by the jam prevention device. This significantly reduces the likelihood of interference between the previously cut recording paper and the next sheet of recording paper, even if the recording paper has a strong tendency to curl.
