<p>In a document transport system documents (20) are fed from a stack (21) by a feed roller (24) to a feed path. If photodetectors (58, 60) detect the presence of overlapped documents, an electromagnet (76) is operated to lift a pressure roller (34c) to an inoperative position, allowing a drive roller (40) to move the lower overlapped document or documents to engage a stop member (68) thereby aligning all the overlapped documents, which are then driven along the feed path and diverted by a diverter gate (62) into a collection bin (66). The transport system has a compact construction.</p> |
