ABSTRACT:
A paper handling system is used in combination with a duplicator of the type having a printing station and means for conveying printed sheets from the printing station. The paper handling system includes a gravity feed accumulator for receiving sheets from the sheet conveying means and collecting them in a set, a finishing station positioned at the lower level of the accumulator for receiving collected sets from the accumulator and including a stapling device for binding together the sheets of the set, an elevator which communicates with the finishing station to receive bound pamphlets therefrom, and a stacking device which is positioned above the finishing station and communicates with the elevator for receiving pamphlets and arranging them in a stack. The stacking device includes an upper level stacking station, a discharge station located beneath the stacking station, and a movable tray which is capable of being indexed between the upper level and the discharge station. The discharge station includes a discharge conveyor which transports the offset stack of sets of sheets from the tray to a shelf positioned at an optimum height above the floor of the work area within which the paper handling system is located.
