Abstract
A classifying tray apparatus is provided with a plurality of sheet end receiving rollers for arranging each rear end portion of the sheets stacked on a sheet discharge tray. Each sheet end receiving roller stands rotatably on a main body of the classifying tray apparatus so as to rotate, in accordance with the horizontal movement of the sheet discharge tray in a direction perpendicular to a discharge direction, while being in contact with the sheets stacked on the sheet discharge tray or with the sheet discharge tray, thereby avoiding the unevenness of the sheets stacked on the sheet discharge tray.
