ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for assembling copy sets of a first or principal copy job including a plural number of identical copies of an original document of one or more pages with a supplemental copy job including a like plural number of copy sheets. The first copy job is reproduced in either a first mode wherein the copies are made of the original document last page first to first page last copy order or a second mode wherein copies are made of the original document first page first to last page last copy order. Copy sheets of each copied page of the original document are sorted into a like number of collating bins wherein the copy sheets are stored in collated order. In response to commands entered by the user specifying the number of copies to be made of the original document and the selection of the first mode or the second mode, the feeding of copy sheets is repetitively operated for storing copy sheets respectively in the bins in the first or second order in which the pages of the original document are reproduced. In response to selection of the first mode for the first copy job copies of information associated with a supplemental copy and/or print job are successively made on copy sheets and positioned in a first orientation in each of the bins consistent with respect to the pages of each copy made of the original document therein. In response to selection of the second mode for the first copy job copies of information associated with a supplemental copy and/or print job on copy sheets are successively made and positioned in a second orientation in each of the bins consistent with respect to the pages of each copy made of the original document therein. There is thus provided consistency in orientation of the two jobs in the bins.
