    Abstract: A document reproduction machine, such as a convenience copier, has an operator selected noncollated tray output and a collated output. To ensure that reproduction of documents does not stop when either the capacity of the tray or the collator is exceeded, automatic control means switch document transport from the tray to the collator for filling up the collator in a noncollating mode, and vice versa.

    Abstract: A document feed device is disclosed which utilizes intermittently operated endless drive belts to transport a document sheet from an entry guide to an exposure zone and from there to an exit hopper where the drive belts are tensioned over the trailing and leading edges of the work station to provide concentrated drive forces at those points and where the leading edge is slightly elevated from the plane of the work station to provide a region of force relief immediately after passing the leading edge. The document is moved into engagement with the drive belt by picker roll mechanism which controls initiation of feed and is accelerated away from the work station by an accelerator roll arrangement which drives the document at a speed faster than it is normally fed to make room for the next document. Alignment is accomplished by an alignment guide having fingers inter-digitated with the plurality of feed belts and providing a positive stop against which the document is lightly urged by the feed belts. The feed belt/work station surface arrangement is such as to provide an increasing urging force in the direction of feed.

    Abstract: A document reproduction machine, such as an electrostatic copier, has a copy station with a front reference edge for operator convenience. A reproduction station adjacent the copy station reverses the image such that the reference edge is at a rear or remote position from the operator. The duplicate copy is initially referenced to the rear reference edge. An aligner in a transfer station moves the duplicate copy to a front reference edge and into an exit station which may include a collator. In a minimal transport distance, documents of various lengths are automatically handled and aligned by the apparatus.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of controlling a multi-bin sheet collator. Adjacent collator bins are treated as one virtual bin and sheet feeding is controlled appropriately by skipping bins if the number of sets to be collated equals or is smaller than half the number of bins. Thus, multi-page documents having a number of pages exceeding the capacity of a single bin can be collated. In a combined copier/collator the number of copies selected by the operator determines the number of sets, and thus the size and grouping of the virtual bins.
