The insert supply stations (17-20) each comprise a stacking position (46) arranged for collecting sheets, received piece by piece, into a stacked set and for feeding the set. At least the sheet supply track (6, 53-57) of the second insert supply station is provided with a waiting position, which is arranged for receiving a set coming from the stacking position (46) and holding the received set in readiness while in the stacking position (46) a next set (2) is being collected.
