ABSTRACT:
Booklets are produced from sets of sheets fed seriatim to finishing apparatus from a copier/duplicator or the like either by adhesively binding the sheets together or by stapling them together. The finishing apparatus has first and second adhesive binders used for securing sets of sheets together with adhesive, and first and second stapler/finishers for securing sets of sheets together with one or more staples. The sets of sheets are directed alternately either to the first adhesive binder and to the second adhesive binder or to the first stapler/finisher and the second stapler/finisher. The finished booklets from the binders or the stapler/finishers are collected in a collection station. By providing two adhesive binders and two stapler/finishers booklets can be finished on an "on-line" basis at full machine speed and without interrupting the flow of sheets of a second booklet until the first booklet has been completely finished. In addition, if one finishing station is disabled, the apparatus can be used to produce booklets using the station that is not disabled.
