Rotate the connecting frame 18 to drive the electric suction cup 19 to rotate, and the electric suction cup 19 will drive the paper to rotate, so as to facilitate the circular rotation and placement of the paper. After determining the placement position, operate to turn off the third motor 20 to stop the paper rotation. Then, turn on the electric push rod 24 again, and the electric push rod 24 will drive the support shaft 17 to move downward again through the adjusting rod 25, so that the electric suction cup 19 will drive the paper downward. By turning off the electric suction cup 19, the paper is placed in the designated position, thus completing the use of the printer's paper output tray.
