More Information
Summary:A document alignment system comprises a feed system (6), defining an elongate path, for feeding documents along the path. The feed system is adjustable to vary the orientation of the elongate path in a lateral plain so as to cause a document to undergo a corresponding lateral shift as it is moved along the path. A detector (25,26) detects the lateral position of a document upstream of the elongate path. A control system (70,17,17') is responsive to the detector (25,26) to adjust the feed system (6) so that the document undergoes a desired amount of lateral movement as it is moved along the elongate path.
