Abstract
The present invention provides a collator system comprising a sheet collating device (1a) in which a plurality of sheet supply shelves (2a-2h) are provided, a stack of sheets to be collated are supported on each sheet supply shelf (2a-2h), the sheets are fed one by one from each sheet supply shelf to a collating section (6a) for each collating operation and one sheet bundle is thus collated, a sheet loading device (21) for receiving the sheet bundle collated from the sheet collating device (1a), a controller (14) for controlling operations of the sheet collating device (1a) and the sheet loading device (21), a sheet feeding error detecting section provided on each sheet supply shelf of the sheet collating device (1a), and a sheet feeding error display unit (17) connected to the controller. When the sheet feeding errors are detected by the sheet feeding error detecting section, the controller (14) outputs a stop signal to the sheet collating device (1a) and continues the collating operation which is being performed during the sheet feeding error detection but stops the collating operation to be started after the sheet feeding error detection, and displays, by switching, the sheet su…
