ABSTRACT:
A dual mode document feeder for feeding conventional document sheets from a stack thereof in the document feeding tray of the document feeder to the imaging station of a copier, the document feeding tray having a resettable side guide for those conventional document sheets, wherein the dual mode document feeder alternatively provides automatic restacking of fan-fold web documents in this same document tray. The document feeding tray is enlarged to accommodate the latter. The side guide is repositionable intermediately of the document feeding tray. The side guide has an additional integral fan-fold web end stopping surface intersecting with the tray bottom surface to provide restacking of fan-fold web thereon. Automatic fan-fold stacking of the fan-fold web document is provided in the document feeding tray by guiding the fan-fold web into the document feeding tray from the imaging station with the platen transport through a baffle guide to and against this additional side guide surface, in cooperation with the tray surfaces, for automatic restacking.
