Sheets ( 12, 14 ) of a medium stored in a stack ( 10 ) are separated and fed into an office machine. The edge of the top sheet ( 12 ) is lifted off the corresponding edge of the following second sheet ( 14 ). At least one separator ( 26 ) is inserted into the gap ( 32 ) resulting from the lifting of the top-sheet ( 12 ) and the top sheet ( 12 ) is lifted by the separator from the following sheet ( 14 ). This causes a reduction of the friction between the top sheet ( 12 ) and the following sheet ( 14 ) during separation of the top sheet ( 12 ), so that the electrical charge of the sheets ( 12, 14 ) generated by this friction is minimized.
