Abstract

The sheets (18) output from an office machine (10) are deposited in stacked form in a sheet depository (16). Combined with the sheet depository (16) is a tray or container (22) in which separating films (20) are stored. The separating films (20) are placed via a guiding device (26) onto the stack of sheets (18) in the sheet depository (16) in order to be able to separate associated groups of sheets (18) in a simple manner.
