For detecting inadequate separation of successive documents (i.e., stream feed) which pass in seriatim through an apparatus, a logic circuit a counter which begins to count when a first document passes a particular point in the apparatus. A flip-flop is set by a signal from a photosensitive element when a second document passes a second predetermined point. In normal operation, a decoder will respond at a fixed count to clear the flip-flop before a third document arrives at the photosensitive element. However, if the photosensitive element output changes again, indicating the third document has reached the second point before the fixed count is attained, a NOR gate connected to the photosensitive element and the flip-flop generates an inadequate separation or stream feed signal.
