Abstract
Imaging apparatus includes a sheet supply tray having a width alignment rail and a registration member against which the side of a received stack of sheets abuts when the stack is fully received in the imaging apparatus. The tray is urged toward the registration member as the sheet supply tray is being received in the imaging apparatus, and is held against the resilient force until the sheet supply tray is substantially fully received in the imaging apparatus to keep the received stack of sheets from contact with the registration member. The registration member can pass through a recess in the supply tray's side wall to directly abut against the opposed side of a received stack of sheets when the stack is fully received in the imaging apparatus.
