Abstract
Copy finisher for assembling uncollated or collated copies produced by an electrographic copies into booklets in an intermediate tray, for stapling the booklets, if desired, and for selectively stacking the booklets in an offset or straight manner in an output tray. If a malfunction, such as a paper jam, occurs in the copier, the finisher will assemble the copies in process in the finisher into a booklet and offset stack the booklet in the output tray. If the number of copies in a copy set produced by the copier exceeds the copy assmebling limit of the intermediate tray, the finishing apparatus will assemble the copies of the set into subbooklets of copies equal to or less than the copy limit of the intermediate tray and stack all of the subbooklets of a copy set at the same location in the output tray.
