Patent ID: 7673982

Claim:
A print media stacker assembly comprising: a housing having an opening therein; a feeder disposed within the housing; a tray disposed within the housing downstream of the feeder, the tray having a front lip, a collecting portion, and a back wall, the tray having a tray length measured from the lip to the back wall; and a stopper lever in operative relationship with the tray a distance upstream from the back wall, the stopper lever having a first position in which the stopper lever prevents media sheets from passing beyond the stopper lever and a second position in which the stopper lever permits media sheets to pass beyond the stopper lever, wherein the feeder pulls a sheet of media from a printer and directs a first end of the sheet toward the tray such that the sheet slides along the tray and abuts one of the back wall and the stopper lever, thereby preventing the sheet from sliding further along the tray and causing a second end of the sheet to extend beyond the lip after passing from the feeder such that the second end of the sheet is exposed proximate the opening in the housing to allow the user to grasp the sheet.
