Abstract
Image recording equipment capable of selectively discharging sheets each carrying an image thereon to either one of the operating side or front of the equipment where the operator is expected to stand or to the opposite side or rear, depending on the number of sheets to be discharged to a tray. When a tray provided on the rear of the equipment is selected, the tray loaded with discharged sheets is moved to the front of the equipment and then automatically returned to the original position after the sheets have been removed by the operator.
