ABSTRACT:
Sheets selective loading apparatus making groups of a given number of sheets discharged on a sheet stacker from sheet discharge rollers in an image recording apparatus and selectively loading the groups of sheets one on top of another alternatively on positions offset from each other. The sheet discharge rollers are movably held by a given distance in their axial direction. Sensors are provided to detect the trailing edge of sheets leaving respectively sheet-carrying rollers right upstream of the sheet discharge rollers, and the sheet discharge rollers. Control is so programmed in discharging a sheet to be stacked on a position offset from the normal position, that the sheet discharge rollers are moved lengthwise by the given distance after the trailing edge of sheet has been detected leaving the sheet-carrying rollers right upstream of the sheet discharge rollers, and returned to the original position after the trailing edge of sheet has been detected leaving the sheet discharge rollers and before the leading edge of the following sheet reaches the sheet discharge rollers.
