Abstract

To provide an apparatus for sorting sheetlike data carriers which firstly has a compact and ergonomically optimal design and secondly permits the use of compact and cost-effective test devices, it is proposed that the input pocket (2) and the output pocket (12-15) are designed and oriented with respect to the front side (1) of the apparatus such that the long sides of the data carriers (3) face the operator. The singling device (19) and the transport system (4) transport the data carriers through a test device in the direction of their long sides. After running through the test device (6) the data carriers are supplied to one of the output pockets (12-15) by a longitudinal/cross conveying device (7) along their transverse sides.
