Abstract
A computer printer tray system comprising a paper input tray and a paper output tray, neither of which is required to have any moving parts. The output tray is supported in part by the input tray and both trays of the system are semi-permanently cantilever supported from the front of the printer so that neither tray has to be removed when loading an unprinted stack of cut sheet paper or removing printed paper. The output tray has a first portion which is inclined from a second portion by about 10.degree. to correct paper curl caused by a wet printing process.
