Abstract
A mechanism for registering sheets of different sizes relative to a station which includes a surface for receiving a sheet, and a registration member located along the surface and extending toward the station for guiding the sheet toward the station. A first urging guide extends along the surface in spaced relation to the registration member. A second urging guide rotates about an axis parallel to the guide and below the platen between an operational position and an non-operational position. When the movable guide is in its operational position, it is located between the first guide and the registration member. A spring is provided for locking the guide in either the operational or non-operational position.
