ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeding system for an image-forming machine includes a main body having a conveying passage therethrough for guiding sheet materials and a hand insertion feed table pivotally attached to the main body for movement between a feed position in which it can be used to feed sheet materials into the conveying passage and a storage position. The sheet feeding system also includes a separate feed unit which, when the table is in its storage position, can be aligned with the main body so that sheet materials can be fed therefrom into the conveying passage. The conveying passage guides sheet materials to either a receiving section, a sorter or back into the introduction opening of the conveying passage so as to form overlapping images. An auxiliary receiving member is pivotally mounted in the receiving section for movement between a first position in which it acts to guide sheet materials from the conveying passage into the receiving section and a second potion in which it acts to guide sheet materials either to the sorter or back into the introduction opening of the conveying passage. An upper cover member is also pivoted to the main body and acts as both a cover and a guide member.
