Abstract
An ink-jet printing apparatus permits sequential ejection of printed papers without causing stain by non-dried ink, improves printing quality and permits down-sizing of the overall apparatus by simplifying a construction of a paper ejecting mechanism. An ink-jet printing apparatus includes a paper ejecting roller rotatable in a first direction for ejecting said printing medium and a second direction opposite to said first direction and an arm member arranged between said paper ejecting roller and said ejected paper stacker and movable between a first position projecting above said ejected paper stacker for supporting said printing medium from a lower side thereof, and a second position retracted from the position above said ejected paper stacker and permitting falling down of said printing medium. The ink-jet printing apparatus further includes motion force transmitting means for transmitting rotation of said paper ejecting roller in said first direction.
