A bottom sheet feeding apparatus including a sheet separator and feeder and a sheet stacking tray which has a planar base portion defining a base plane, the front of the base portion having an opening within which said bottom sheet separator is positioned, the tray further including two sloping planar side wings, one at each side of said opening in the base portion. The sloping planar side wings are angled upward from the base plane and are angled outward from front to rear of the tray and intersect the base plane such that the intersection at the rear of the tray is in the approximate location of the rear corners of a rectangle the size of a sheet to be fed and the intersection of the planar wings and the base plane at the front of the tray is approximately midway between the front corners of a sheet to be fed and the centerline of a sheet to be fed. In a preferred embodiment the sheet separator feeder comprises a plurality of vacuum belts having a vacuum plenum disposed within the run of the belts. |
