ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transporting documents from two directions includes first direction transporting structure for transporting first documents seriatim over the deck in a first direction, and second direction transporting structure adjacent a downstream end of the first direction transporting structure for seizing control of the first documents and transporting the first documents over the deck in a second direction. The second direction is approximately at a 45.degree. angle to the first direction. A third direction transporting structure is downstream from the second direction transporting structure for transporting the first documents in the third direction as the first documents are released from the control of the second direction transporting structure. The third direction is orthogonal to the first direction. An in-line transport is located upstream from the third direction transporting structure and adjacent a downstream end of the second direction transporting structure. The in-line transport includes structure for receiving second documents being conveyed from upstream in the third direction and for transporting the second documents to the third direction transporting structure. A guide strap is located between the second direction transporting structure, the in-line transport and the third direction transporting structure, for preventing the first and second documents from lifting away from the deck and from skewing as the first and second documents are transported in the second and third directions respectively. The apparatus further includes structure for enabling and disabling the second direction transporting structure or the in-line transport.
