Provided is a medium loading device onto which a medium discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus is loaded, the medium loading device including a sheet configured to support the medium and a winding shaft configured to wind the sheet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A medium loading device onto which a medium discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus is loaded, the medium loading device comprising:
 a sheet configured to support the medium; and   a winding shaft configured to wind the sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The medium loading device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the sheet includes a first end that is an end portion, and a second end that is an end portion positioned opposite the first end,   the first end is attached to the winding shaft, and   the second end is attached to the printing apparatus.   
     
     
         3 . The medium loading device according to  claim 2 , wherein the second end is attached to the printing apparatus at a position higher than an installation surface, on which the printing apparatus is installed, and lower than the discharge port. 
     
     
         4 . The medium loading device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the sheet includes a first end that is an end portion, and a second end that is an end portion positioned opposite the first end,   the first end is attached to the winding shaft, and   the winding shaft is attached to the printing apparatus.   
     
     
         5 . The medium loading device according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the winding shaft is attached to the printing apparatus at a position higher than an installation surface, on which the printing apparatus is installed, and lower than the discharge port.   
     
     
         6 . The medium loading device according to  claim 2 , comprising a first adjustment tool and a second adjustment tool, wherein
 the sheet includes a third end that is a different end portion from the first end and the second end, and a fourth end that is an end portion positioned opposite the third end,   the first adjustment tool is attached to the third end and to the printing apparatus,   the second adjustment tool is attached to the fourth end and to the printing apparatus, and   a force of pulling the sheet is adjusted by the first adjustment tool and the second adjustment tool.   
     
     
         7 . The medium loading device according to  claim 6 , wherein the first adjustment tool and the second adjustment tool are configured so that a magnitude of the force of pulling the sheet is adjustable in stages.
