Abstract
Document processor equipment for processing documents requiring operator intervention for the purpose of functions like key entry and encoding of data associated with certain ones of the documents includes an improved system for transporting and presenting documents to the operator for such intervention. A document view station has split parallel transport paths for routing documents requiring operator intervention to the front path near the operator with documents not requiring operator intervention being routed to and along a rear path, the respective routing being effected by a diverter automatically controlled in response to information read from the documents. A preview station and document hold station are respectively provided upstream and downstream from the document view station.
