Abstract
A sheet supply tray (31) having two walls (33,34) extending in parallel with the direction from which the sheets are extracted from the tray (31) seriatum, the two walls (33,34) being spaced an adjustable distance apart to accommodate sheets of different widths. One wall (34) of the tray (31) comprises a longitudinally-extending area from which resilient bristles (73) project, the free ends of the bristles (73) pointing in the sheet-extraction direction so as to provide a resilient cushion acting on the adjacent sheet edges so to bias the sheets against the opposing wall (33), to remove any skew therefrom.
