Abstract

See full text

A method and device for off-sorting documents of a specific type using a device capable of discriminating among different types of documents. A stack of documents are received in an input receptacle and transported, one at a time, past a document type discriminating unit to an output receptacle where the type of each document is discriminated. Next it is determined whether the type of a current document is a specified type. Depending on the type of the current document either (1) operation of the device is halted when the current document does have the specified type and the immediately preceding document does not have the specified type; (2) operation of the device is halted when the current document does not have the specified type and the immediately preceding document does have the specified type; or (3) operation of the device is continued.
