ABSTRACT:
A device that allows an operator to unload copy sheets from an output tray of a machine, keep the machine running, and maintain integrity of the copy sheet stack. The output tray is slid to the right with respect to the front of the machine to allow the operator to unload the copy sheet stack. When slid to the right, an `X-shelf` is unfolded to hold the stack of continual copy sheet output. After the tray is emptied, it is slid to the left and back into the original position. The sheets on the `X-shelf` fall into the output tray and the job continues uninterrupted.
