Abstract
Briefly and in general terms a paper size adjusting apparatus for a paper supply tray. The apparatus includes a paper supply tray having a bottom wall, left and right side walls, a front wall and a rear wall; a side wall paper guide laterally movable with respect to and connected to the supply tray; and a front wall paper guide longitudinally moveable with respect to and connected to the supply tray. The apparatus further includes a mechanical connector that engages both the paper guides in a manner such that the movement of one of the guides generates a corresponding movement of the other guide. The apparatus provides for a coupled width and length adjustment thereby allowing the user to conform both dimensions with only one manipulation.
