Abstract

An apparatus which delivers to an operator offset batches of sheets reproduced from at least one set of documents. The operator selects the number of sheets or sets of sheets successive batches to be offset from one another. In this way, the number of copy sheets in the batch may range from a partial set of copy sheets to multiple sets of copy sheet. Also, the operator may select no offset within a job providing a straight stack with no distinction between batches or sets.
