Abstract

A medium ejection apparatus includes an ejection tray having a first stacking surface, and an extension tray rotatably attached to an end part of the ejection tray at a downstream side in a medium ejection direction, and having a second stacking surface. An end part of the ejection tray at the downstream side is provided with a first abutting part and a second abutting part. An end part of the extension tray at the ejection tray side is provided with a first abutted part and a second abutted part. The second stacking surface is located forming a first angle with respect to the first stacking surface by the first abutted part abutting against the first abutting part. The second stacking surface is located forming a second angle, different from the first angle, with respect to the first stacking surface by the second abutted part abutting against the first abutting part.

Claims (14)

1. A medium ejection apparatus comprising:

an ejection roller to eject a medium;

an ejection tray having a first stacking surface, to stack a medium ejected by the ejection roller; and

an extension tray rotatably attached to an end part of the ejection tray at a downstream side in a medium ejection direction, and having a second stacking surface, to stack a medium ejected by the ejection roller, wherein

an end part of the ejection tray at the downstream side is provided with a first abutting part and second abutting part, wherein

the end part of the extension tray at the ejection tray side is provided with a first abutted part and second abutted part, wherein

the second stacking surface is located forming a first angle with respect to the first stacking surface by the first abutted part abutting against the first abutting part, and wherein

the second stacking surface is located forming a second angle, different from the first angle, with respect to the first stacking surface by the second abutted part abutting against the first abutting part.

2. The medium ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first abutting part is provided so as to stick out from the second abutting part, and wherein

the second abutted part is provided so as to stick out from the first abutted part.

3. The medium ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the set of the first abutting part and the second abutting part and the set of the first abutted part and the second abutted part is provided to be able to slide in a direction perpendicular to the medium ejection direction.

4. The medium ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the extension tray is provided to be able to be inserted on the ejection tray so that the second stacking surface faces the first stacking surface.

5. The medium ejection apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a stacking tray provided below the extension tray, to stack the medium to be conveyed.
