Abstract
A guide strip removal system includes a pair of guide strip removal devices positioned on opposite sides of a printer outlet where a continuous sheet of paper is discharged. The guide strip removal devices each include a pair of plate members secured together in a spaced apart parallel relationship to define a narrow slot therebetween. The plate members each have a corner portion delineated from a planar main body portion by respective narrow slits that extend from front edges of the plate members toward rear edges thereof. The corner portions are angled away from the main body portions to create paths for the side edge guide strips that diverge abruptly away from paths for the marginal side edge portions of the printer paper. The side edge guide strips are thereby removed from the marginal side edge portions of the, paper without the use of any moving parts or cutting blades.
