A spring urged block 406 maintains a stack in contact with lips 422, 424 at the bottom of the cartridge. Sheets may be manually inserted by bending them so that they spring past these lips, Fig. 9 (not shown). The stacker station, Fig. 10, comprises nip rollers 172 and 174 for forwarding a sheet into the cartridge and a stacker roller 176 to complete the stacking. The roller 176 is mounted on a swing arm for movement into engagement with the stack when required.

The stacker station includes a switch which is actuated upon placement of an empty cartridge on table 354 to energise the mechanism for feeding sheets into the cartridge which switch is de-activated when the cartridge is full. The hopper station, Fig. 14 includes a throat knife 298 which enters the bottom of the cartridge and co-operates with a roller 300 to define an exit slot, and a friction feed roller 136 mounted on a swing arm for movement to and from the stack.
