Abstract

A single sheet is transported from a tray where sheets are stored to the table of a coordinate plotter by a movable device which lifts the sheet by suction from the tray and moves the attached sheet part way to a final position on the table. The sheet is released; the device retreats and then again lifts the same sheet by suction and transports the sheet to a final position on the table.
