Originals are individually separated from the bottom of a stack overlying the imaging platen of a document copier and are advanced around a first 180 DEG bend onto the platen for copying. After they are copied, the originals are returned to the top of the stack around a second 180 DEG bend at the other end of the platen. Each original is advanced to the imaging platen a number of times equal to the number of copies to be made to produce collated sets of copies from the copier. A relatively flat place-marking member initially placed on the uppermost original drops down when that original is fed to generate a signal indicating that the entire set of originals has been advanced once to the imaging platen. The generated signal indexes a counter that turns off the feeder when the desired number of copies have been made. This counter also actuates a motor that shifts the copy tray between sets to offset successive sets of copies. |
