Abstract

After having been read, individual sheets are initially introduced only partially into a first collection space for successfully read sheets. These partially introduced sheets are then introduced completely into said first collection space upon occurrence of a "go" decision from the reading. In contrast, upon occurrence of a "no go" decision, the partially introduced sheets are again withdrawn from the first collection space for successfully read sheets by an oppositely directed movement and are supplied to a separate second collection space for unsuccessfully read sheets. Also the apparatus for carrying out the foregoing.
