ABSTRACT:
A multi-mode apparatus for ejecting individual sets of compiled, attached or unattached sheets to substantially the same location for any size sheet from a electrophotographic printing machine to an off line finishing device without impairing the process speed thereof. In a first mode each sheet set is compiled on a moveable member. The moveable member is then translated by actuating a pneumatic cylinder to translate the compiled sheet set to a location external of the compiling apparatus. A vertically moveable bail device applied a normal force to the sheet set to maintain the integrity of the set during transport but is substantially frictionless so as to not disturb the registration of the sheet set. The translating member is able to quickly transport a compiled set of sheets from a location internal of the compiling device to an external location whereat the sheet set may be fed to an off-line other finishing or processing device. The translating member is then able to quickly return to the compiling position so as to not impair the process speed of the printing machine. In a second mode a multitude of sheet sets are first compiled and then delivered to an operator.
