Abstract
A paper accommodation apparatus for use, for example, in copying machine includes a recirculating document feeder. The feeder includes a paper stacker for stacks of papers to be copied. After each sheet of paper is copied, it is returned to the stack. A sheet after copying is moved in a first direction back into the paper stacker. An apparatus is provided for moving an end portion of the paper after it is in the paper stacker, in an opposite direction to the first direction to lift the paper so that the end of the paper can rest on a guide.
