Abstract

A copying machine wherein successive finished sheets issue from an opening in the front wall of the housing in such positions that the printed matter is observable from above. Successive sheets pass below an observation window which is adjacent to the opening so that the quality of printed matter can be observed from above. The sheets are thereupon inverted so that the printed matter faces downwardly, and are stacked on top of each other in a tray having a bottom panel the inner end portion of which constitutes the observation window. The sheets are inverted in a channel having an inlet below the observation window and an outlet above the end of the tray which is remote from the opening.
