Abstract
In a machine having a reciprocating original document handling carriage such as a copier, a roller at the bottom of a sloped ramp rests on the upper surface of the carriage. Documents placed on the ramp slide downward until the leading edge is at the nip between the roller and carriage surface. Movement of the carriage pulls the document from the tray onto the carriage surface for scanning. An additional roller can be included to provide automatic document ejection by pushing the document onto an output tray as the carriage returns.
