Abstract
A printer suitable for use with either a continuous printing form or a separate printing form, includes a printer casing having projections on both sides thereof and a rearwardly inclined groove located below the projections. The paper shelf has elongated grooves formed at both sides of the front portion thereof so as to engage the projections of the printer casing, respectively. When a separate printing form is used, the rear end of the paper shelf is raised by pivoting the paper shelf about the projections of the printer casing and the front edge thereof enters the inclined groove of the printer casing so that when the rear ends of the elongated grooves engage the projections, the paper shelf is positioned by the inclined groove and the projections of the printer casing.
