<p>In apparatus in which sheets are separated from the bottom of a first set in a tray whilst a second set is being stacked thereabove, a removable set separator (201), locatable between the sets, is provided. A shaft (206) that supports the separator (201) has one end portion resting on a cam member (210) whereby actuation of a solenoid (202), when the first set is empty, propels the separator (201) along the cam surface (210) and away from underneath the second set of copies to a stop position. A spring (203) biases the shaft (206) and separator (201) from the stop position to a position on top of the second set of copies in order to separate the second set of copies from the next set of copies coming into the tray. <IMAGE></p> |
