Abstract

A document reproduction machine, such as a convenience copier, has an operator selected noncollated tray output and a collated output. To ensure that reproduction of documents does not stop when either the capacity of the tray or the collator is exceeded, automatic control means switch document transport from the tray to the collator for filling up the collator in a noncollating mode, and vice versa.
