Abstract

See full text

A self-adjusting paper bucket for a printer is provided, together with methods for providing such a self-adjusting paper bucket. The paper bucket may have a curved base portion for accepting paper rolls of varying widths. A guide may be movably mounted to each side of the base portion. The guides may be movable between a first position extending towards a center of the paper bucket and a second position folded against sides of the paper bucket. A biasing element may be provided for each of the guides for biasing the corresponding guide into the first position. In the first position, the guides may accept a first paper roll having a first width and may center the first paper roll in the base portion. In the second position, the guides may accept a second paper roll having a second width greater than the first width and may center the second paper roll in the base portion.
