The automated print media stacking apparatus makes use of a passive guide in the bottom of the stacking bin to automatically initiate the folding operation on printed continuous feed fan fold print media (e.g. - paper) and to precisely refold and stack the printed media as it is output by the high speed line printer. The automated print media stack apparatus includes a slotted forms refold tray that is located at the bottom of the stacking bin. The slotted refold tray includes a slot located in the center thereof for automatically receiving the leading edge of the first sheet of print media that is output by the high speed line printer. An associated media puller is used to insure the proper positioning of the leading edge of the first sheet of print media into the slot in the paper refold tray.
