Abstract
In a stencil sheet discharge device having a pair of stencil sheet discharge rollers for transferring a stencil sheet removed from the outer circumferential surface of a printing drum of a rotary stencil printer toward a stencil sheet disposal spot, it is prevented that the trailing end of the stencil printer mounted around the printing drum is contaminated with ink by a contact with the stencil sheet discharge rollers, by a cover member being provided between at least one of the pair of stencil sheet discharge rollers and the printing drum. The cover member may be movable between an operating position interposed between the at least one of the pair of stencil sheet discharge rollers and the printing drum and a non-operating position for exposing the pair of stencil sheet discharge rollers to the printing drum.
