Abstract

A paper holder, especially for a small office type photocopying machine or the like, is provided with two sections disposed one behind the other for respective stacks of paper sheets. The sections of the holder are disposed so that they can be selectively utilized with the one or the other ends of the holder inserted into the copying machine. Paper sheets are fed to the machine from the respective one of the sections inserted into the machine. The other sheet stack which may contain a paper of a different format or a different quality is then held in reserve in the same paper holder. The paper holder is provided with a heater in order to facilitate the drying of both stacks of paper and also so that the stack of paper held in reserve is immediately ready upon its insertion to give error free copying qualities.
