Systems, apparatus, and methods for automatic stacking support configuration and unload configuration useful for substrate stacker support in printing systems
Abstract:
A stacker support with automatic unload function for flexible media includes a first set of ribs and a second of ribs. The stacker support is moved between a first UP position and a second unloading position. In the first UP position and loading positions, the first set of ribs and the second set of ribs are aligned so that their surfaces from a single uniform continuous surface for supporting stack of substrate sheets. In the second unloading position, the top surface of the second set of ribs is caused to move below the top surface of the first set of ribs whereby the top surface of the first set of ribs forms a ribbed surface that supports stacked sheets. The gaps formed thereby permit unloading by a cart having offset ribs.
