ABSTRACT:
A bail assembly has a first portion of an arm pivotally supported by a printer frame. A second portion of the arm is slidably supported by the first portion of the arm so that the length of the arm can be adjusted in accordance with the length of sheets being fed to a support for stacking. The second portion of the arm has a stop pivotally mounted on its distal end. The stop has a flange for engaging each of the fed sheets so that the leading edges of the sheets are in substantial vertical alignment. The first portion of the arm has notches, which are spaced apart the differences in the sizes of the sheets being fed, to receive a detent on the second portion of the arm to releasably hold the second portion of the arm in its adjusted position on the first portion of the arm. The second portion of the arm has two curved surfaces for engaging each fed sheet adjacent its leading edge in a transverse line point contact prior to the pivotally mounted stop engaging the leading edge of the fed sheet.
