ABSTRACT:
A system for passing long fan-folded documents and correspondingly lengthy copy paper through a reproducing apparatus, and including a frame attachable to the reproducing apparatus and adapted to support a roll of copy paper, and further including a feed tray detachably mounted on a reproducing apparatus and having a partition plate selectively positionable in the feed tray to facilitate containment in the tray of a fan-folded document to be reproduced. The feed tray includes a bottom plate having downwardly projecting ribs to detachably mount the tray on the reproducing machine, and upwardly projecting ribs spaced from a paper discharge slot at the front side of the tray, and acting as an indexing abutment for contacting and positioning the fan-folded document in the tray. The copy paper roll supporting frame has mounted thereon a cutting wire detent stud and a pivotable cocking lever. A spring biased cutting wire has one end connected to the supporting frame and its other connected to the cocking lever. Pivotation of the cocking lever extends the wire over the detent stud and loads the spring in tension. A trip lanyard is connected to a detent release lever which can be pivoted by the lanyard to release the cutting wire from its detent, thereby severing the copy paper at a selected location.
