Abstract

Stacking apparatus for stacking sheets in corner registration to form sets positioned with respect to a finishing device such as a stitcher or stapler. The apparatus comprises a stack support surface which is inclined downwardly towards an endless belt extending across the surface and which forms a registration stop. The belt aligns the sheets in one plane and full corner registration is achieved by driving the belt to feed the sheets against a second registration stop.
