Integrated job mailboxing and sets stacking system.

摘要

A sheet output module for the collection and stacking of printed media sheets from the output of a reproduction apparatus, with multiple separate sheet collection bins (11) in a vertical array, a sheet input for receiving the sheets, and a sheet transport path for transporting the sheets to a selected bin; the sheet input is at a central vertical level intermediately of the module and the vertical bin array, the vertical bin array is divided into first and second portions with a central vertical space therebetween, the sheet transport path has a common shared central path (12a) from the input to a branching position where it arcuately branches in opposite directions, with a first branch path (12b) extending upwardly to feed sheets to the first portion of the bins and a second branch path (12c) extending downwardly to feed sheets to the second portion of the bins. A sheet deflector gate (14) is located at this branching position for selectively deflecting sheets from a the common shared path portion into one of these first and second branch paths. A high capacity stacking tray (17) is located within this vertical space between the first and second portions of the vertical array of bins. <IMAGE>
