The present invention relates to a method and a device for handling sheets (3) which are provided with information in a laser printer (4) and fed to a sorting device (5) for being sorted therewith into separate groups (6) of sheets or into sheet piles (7) consisting of sheet groups (6), whereby each sheet group (6) contains a predetermined number of sheets (3) and whereby the sheets (3) are fed through the laser printer (4) as a sheet travel (A) consisting of separate sheets (3) or as another sheet travel (B) consisting of continuous sheets (3), which continuous sheets (3) are divided into separate sheets (3) in a cutting device succeeding the laser printer. In this method, in the laser printer (4), sheets (3) provided with information are continuously fed into a magazine (12) at the top thereof while at the same time sheets (3) are continuously removed from said magazine (12) at the bottom thereof for transport to the sorting device (5), whereby sheets (3) provided with information are piled on top of each other in the magazine (12) for providing a sheet buffer supply (11) therein if the speed of the rate of the laser printer (4) to provide sheets (3) with information is higher than the speed of the rate of the sorting device (5) to sort sheets (3) received from the magazine (12), whereby the magazine (12) permits piling of a substantial number of sheets (3), e.g. 2000 sheets (3), and whereby the laser printer (4) is controlled to maintain its operating condition to provide sheets (3) with information as long as the magazine (12) contains fewer sheets (3) than the maximum number of sheets (3) which can be piled in said magazine (12). <IMAGE> |
