ABSTRACT:
In a reproduction system in which a reproduction apparatus with an output of printed sheets at a sheet output position (usually edge registered) is operatively connected to an output sheet processing apparatus having a sheet input position (usually center registered) for sequentially receiving and processing the printed sheets, a lateral alignment system is provided for laterally aligning the sheet input position of the output sheet processing apparatus directly with the sheet output position of the reproduction apparatus without an intermediate sheet transport. The lateral alignment is preferably with a universal interconnect and transporter module or unit adapted to support and transport various different sheet processing apparatus. The lateral realignment may be manually or automatically varied in accordance with the selected size of the printed sheets by corresponding movement of a lateral repositioning system to laterally reposition the output sheet processing apparatus relative to the reproduction apparatus. The lateral repositioning system may include a slide rail mounting. The same module may further include a vertical alignment system and/or docking system. The sheet output position of the reproduction apparatus is repositionable directly adjacent to and linerally aligned with the sheet input position of the output sheet processing apparatus irrespective of changes in the size of the printed sheets.
