Abstract
A single tray is used to collate the printed papers from a printer. The tray is moved to different positions to receive the printed papers. Thus, the printed papers are collated into different stacks. The movement of the tray can be linear or curvilinear. The circular movement can collate the printed papers into more than two stacks.
