ABSTRACT:
In a document handler for a copier or scanner imaging station in which a separate document input loading tray and a document restacking output tray are provided, but with both trays being superposed over the imaging station and one another for compactness; the document input tray is only partially underlying the output tray, has a substantially fully supportive surface, and is adapted to fully support document feeding into an input end of the document handler; and the document restacking output tray (except for an initial portion at its opposite end entrance area) consists of only a thin, rear edge only, shelf, overlying not more than a minor rear portion of the input tray in at least that portion of the input tray adjacent the input end of the document handler into which documents are to be fed, so as to provide open document loading access. The width of the document restacking output tray rapidly arcuately transitions by narrowing to this thin rear edge shelf portion as it extends away from the output end of the document handler. This tray may be a semi-transparent plastic plate, and the initial portion may have an uphill slope.
