ABSTRACT:
A single-sheet feeder for a copier or printer (16) comprises a plurality of magazines (10, 12, 14) which are installed beneath the printer (16) and which are each equipped to receive a stack of sheets (22, 24). The portion of each magazine which receives the stack can be pulled out for refilling, as a drawer. In addition, each magazine comprises a single-sheet feed mechanism (28, 34) and conveying rollers (46, 48). Sheets from a magazine (12, 14) below the uppermost magazine (10) are conveyed through the superimposed magazines (10, 12). The direction in which the drawers (72) are pulled out corresponds to the conveying direction during the feeding of successive single sheets from a magazine. By virtue of this feature, that side of the feeder at which the user operates and tends it coincides with that side of the printer (16) at which he or she performs the primary operating and control actions.
