Abstract
A printer has a main body, a back delivery unit, and a media turnover guide that is detachably or tiltably mounted on the main body. When mounted in an operable position, the media turnover guide delivers printed media face-down onto the top cover of the main body, where they can be easily retrieved. When the media turnover guide is mounted in an inoperable position or is detached, the printed media are delivered face-up to the back delivery unit. The media turnover guide may have a simple structure with a curved surface formed by a back wall and roof. The printer may also have a stacker for stacking the printed media delivered face-down.
