ABSTRACT:
A tray for holding a stack of sheets of imaging media to be fed to an imaging apparatus in a feed direction includes a base having a generally planar surface for receiving a stack of imaging media sheets. A plurality of sides extend generally perpendicular from the surface of the base on one side of the base to partially surround the received stack of sheets on the one side of the base. At least one of the sides terminates short of the end of the received stack of sheets in the feed direction such as to provide the received stack of sheets with an exposed lateral edge to be contacted by an alignment mechanism of the imaging apparatus. The plurality of sides include two parallel sides on opposed sides of the received stack of sheets, at least one of the sides being one of the two parallel sides. A third side is normal to the two parallel sides, and is connected to the two parallel sides. A fourth side is normal to the two parallel sides and is separated from the third side and the two parallel sides.
