ABSTRACT In the present invention a box-like tray having a capacity for holding a stack of more than 1,000 sheets of paper is positioned adjacent the paper-receiving slot of a photocopy machine. A sheet-separator rides on top of the stack of paper and through an independent motor-drive mechanism feeds the top sheet to a feed-drive mechanism, which is also independently actuated. The feed drive advances the sheet onto a teetering paper-receiving tray, the discharge end of which is positioned within the photocopy machine beneath the copier sheet-take-away roller. A cam mechanism causes the discharge end of the tray to press the leading edge of the sheet against the take-away roller, and when the copier is actuated and the sheet is drawn its the copier, a sensing finger located on the tray detects the passage of the sheet and actuates the drive motors for the sheet separator and the feed rollers whereby to advance the next top sheet of the stack into position onto the tray, with the leading edge of the sheet positioned beneath the copier sheet-take-away roller.
