Abstract

A web guide particularly adapted for mail handling systems is positioned between the mail handling system form feeder and separating device. The web guide provides a surface to guide and control the web during its travel between the feeder and separating device so as to avoid or minimize premature tearing of the web, particularly during web acceleration caused by the separating device.
