A variable sheet sized sheet feeder adapted to be reloaded while running in a dual tray mode. A dual tray sheet feeder having a sheet transport (121) to reload a stack of sheets from a holding station (104) to an active feed station (102) is provided. The dual tray design allows the holding station to be reloaded while the active tray is feeding thereby providing load while run capability. The feed tray is further provided with tray extensions (103) to allow the loading and feeding of oversized sheets within the same confines. Multiple sensors and movable stack guides (112,114) are provided to allow the transfer of the sheet stack from one tray to another and to report the status of each tray to the operator through a user interface.
