ABSTRACT:
A sheet stacking system for stacking the sequential sheet output of a reproducing apparatus, with a sheet stacking tray providing an upwardly inclined sheet stacking surface at a substantial angle above the horizontal for receiving and registering sheets to be stacked thereon from a sheet output against an edge registration surface, and with a tray elevator for linearly repositioning the sheet stacking tray relative to the sheet output for maintaining the top stacking position and inclination, for the accumulation of a large stack; wherein the tray elevator repositions the sheet stacking tray downwardly in a linear but non-vertical movement path which is more perpendicular to the angle of the inclined sheet stacking surface and parallel to the edge registration surface, to provide non-vertical but more squarely superposed sheet stacking in the sheet stacking tray. Preferably, the sheet stacking apparatus has a non-vertical fixed end wall parallel the non-vertical movement direction of the sheet stacking tray, and this end wall provides the edge registration surface.
