The sheet-stacking apparatus stacks sheets arriving in a stream of successive sheets. A stop face configuration is pivotable, about a geometric pivot axis located at a predetermined level and oriented crosswise to the stream, between a working position wherein it stops the sheets and a position that is pivoted away from it. The system enables accurate, straight-edged stacks, both in the successive...
