ABSTRACT:
A modular, flexibly adaptable "mailboxing" unit and system for both sequentially processing and separating, into a superposed array of plural separate mailbox print job sheet collection bins or trays, the sheet outputs of various users of various printers (including facsimile receivers, copiers or combination units). The mailbox module has left and right side printer inputs and vertical sheet transport input paths therefrom to at least one vertically modular replaceable sub-module for operating sequentially on sheets in the mailbox module sheet path prior to the separating and feeding of sheets into the mailboxes. The replaceable sub-module comprises at least one of a sheet rotator, a sheet inserter, a sheet inverter, a sheet folder, or a sheet hole punch. The mailbox module then provides a third vertical sheet transport path from the replaceable sub-module past the array of mailboxes to provide a bin selection path for the sub-module processed sheets, with optional compiling and finishing.
