Abstract

See full text

In the field of sheet handling apparatus such as a mail processing machine, it is known to provide infeed apparatus which allows for both the manual and automatic feeding of inserts for processing. The disclosure relates to such infeed apparatus (10) including sensor means (32,33) for detecting (i) whether more than one insert has been fed automatically from one insert tray (13); or (ii) whether an insert has been fed manually from another insert tray (14). In the former case, the apparatus is arranged to signal a fault to an operator; in the latter case operation of the apparatus is automatically continued on sensing of a correctly fed, manually fed insert.
