Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus for use in feeding sheets in an electrostatographic reproducing machine includes a sheet stack support drawer movable between an extended position and an operative position. A pivotally mounted belt separator and retard member move with the drawer and in the extended position are elevated relative to the bottom of the drawer. A pivotally mounted loading baffle moves to a raised position when the drawer is extended to locate the front edge of the stack and retracts when the drawer is moved to the operative position. A sensing arrangement is provided to sense both the presence of sheets on the drawer and engagement of the drive within the machine with the sheet separator when the drawer is moved to operative position. A guide arrangement is provided for flattening curled edges of sheets as they are fed along a path from the sheet feed apparatus.
