ABSTRACT:
A sheet media handling system is provided for use in a sheet processor having support structure which is configured to accommodate reliable sheet pick-up and to minimize the sheet processor's size, while still offering suitable access to the media sheets. The handling system includes upper and lower support structure, the lower support structure supporting sheets for delivery to an input port, and the upper support structure supporting sheets which are expelled from an output port. The lower support structure includes a drawer configured for translation between a fully-dosed drawer position and a fully-open drawer position. Correspondingly, the upper support structure includes a door configured to pivot between a fully-closed door position and a fully-open door position. An overcenter mechanism is employed to bias the drawer either into a fully-closed drawer position or toward a fully-open drawer orientation.
