Abstract

Apparatus circulates successive originals of a set to an exposure position and selectively produces images of an original at the exposure position. Copy sheets of either a first characteristic or a second characteristic are presented for receiving produced images. Keysheets are adapted to be interleaved into the original set at positions for designating individual documents of the set, the keysheets having indicia for identifying keysheet orientation in the set. The apparatus senses the presence and orientation of the keysheets and effects presenting means to supply a copy of sheet of the first characteristic if a keysheet is not sensed and a copy sheet of the second characteristic if a keysheet is sensed. Images of the designated individual original are either produced or not produced in accordance with the orientation of the keysheet.
