    Abstract: A sheet sorting device includes a plurality of trays which are immovably arranged in a vertical array, a sheet ejection unit which is selectively movable from tray to tray and which includes a guide member which guides a sheet into the entrance of the tray and an ejection roller which ejects the sheet. The ejection unit is connected with drive mechanism which includes a Geneva cam and wheel arrangement. Each rotation of the Geneva cam moves the ejection unit from one tray entrance to a predetermined position with respect to the next entrance. During non-sorting modes, the ejection unit is set in a predetermined high position above the uppermost tray wherein the distance between the ejection unit and the uppermost tray is greater than the space between trays.
