ABSTRACT:
An output sheets collection, separation and distribution system for printed sheets outputted from a shared centralized printer to which plural remote users electronically send respective print jobs from a plurality of separate user sites remote from said centralized printer location. A mobile vehicular mailboxing module is docked with the printer to collect the print jobs stacked in plural user-assigned mailbox bins by an internal sheet feeding and distribution system. The mobile mailbox module is then undocked and automatically sequentially driven to the separate remote user sites and distributes the respective print jobs to the respective users at those sites, or other designated sites, stopping only at those sites for which the moving mailboxing module contains designated print jobs in one or more bins. The remote user sites may have separate stationary print job delivery bins and the plural users may have distinguishable electronic codes, and the mailbox bins may have lockable access restricting privacy doors respectively electronically unlockable by user access codes, which may be automatically provided at the job receiving sites by digital signal sources there.
