Sheet supplying apparatus having sheet storing cassette

摘要

A sheet supply system utilizes a cassette for holding a stack of sheets. The cassette includes an interlocking member formed on the bottom of the cassette which cooperates with an upstanding orienting member on a cassette receiving tray. The interlocking members permit orientation of the cassette on the tray in two positions, which are orthogonal to each other. Fringe marks on the tray delineate the marginal edge of cassettes to be placed on the tray, in each position the cassette can be oriented on the tray. The arrangement eliminates the need for movable guide members to position differently sized cassette on the tray or to position cassettes in different orientations on the tray.
