Abstract

A printer includes a print zone, and a media output guide assembly downstream of the print zone to curve media between media side edges. The media output guide assembly includes: an inner guide; and a pair of outer guides, the media to pass between the inner guide and the outer guides with the inner guide above the media and the outer guides below the media. The media passing between the guides has, in a direction perpendicular to a media output direction, outer edges that droop around and below a top of the outer guides, elevated points at the tops of the outer guides and a central low point under the inner guide and between the outer edges.
