Abstract
An improved sheet stacking arrangement for use with a recording apparatus, which includes a sheet feed-out device, a tray provided with an inclined surface descending to a certain extent towards the recording apparatus, and a sheet leading edge restricting portion provided at a side of the recording apparatus beyond an intersection between the inclined surface of the tray and an imaginary line extending in the sheet feed-out direction of the sheet feed-out device so as to receive the leading edge of the sheet fed out by the sheet feed-out device and contacting the inclined surface of the tray, with tray distance between the sheet feed-out device and the tray being shorter than the length of the shortest sheet employed in the recording apparatus.
