ABSTRACT:
A pre-programmable multiple pause points system for a post-collation copying system for a copier with associated plural sorter bins and a recirculating document handler (RDH) in which a set of document sheets may be loaded, recirculated, and copied for making a plural number of identical consecutive copies per document per circulation and outputting them to selected sorter bins for collation. This system is particularly adapted for a system of "limitless sorting" in which the plural identical copies are job subsets collated in a variable limited number of sorter bins normally substantially less than the total number of bins and wherein the total job is completed with further RDH document circulations and further job subsets productions. The preprogrammable pause points system provides for the automatic variable number of pauses or job interrupts and for their occurrence at those points in the copying cycle appropriate for inserting job inserts or other special copy sheets into the bins being filled, repeatably, at any selected document copying point.
