Abstract: Sheet media is folded in a folding apparatus. The apparatus has an input conveyor, first and second pairs of positioning rollers, first and second folding mechanisms, and first and second media paths. The media is conveyed into the apparatus with the input conveyor. The input conveyor may be a pair of input rollers or any other type of media conveyor. The media is buckled by capturing and positioning the media with a first pair of positioning rollers, while the media is conveyed with the input conveyor. The buckle in the media is captured with the first folding mechanism and drawn from the input conveyor and the first pair of positioning rollers. The first folding mechanism may be a pair of folding rollers or any other mechanism for capturing a buckle in the media. The media is buckled again by capturing and positioning the media with the second pair of positioning rollers, while the media is drawn by the first folding mechanism.

Abstract: Transfer media is positioned with a positioning apparatus. The apparatus has an output repository, a sensor, a controller, a lateral transporter, and a longitudinal conveyor. The output repository has an offset edge axis. The sensor is configured to sense a lateral position of the media relative to longitudinal alignment with the offset edge axis of the output repository and output an alignment signal responsive to the sensed lateral position of the media longitudinally aligning with the offset edge axis of the output repository. The controller is configured to output a lateral movement signal in absence of an alignment signal from the sensor and output a longitudinal movement signal. In response to the lateral movement signal from the controller, the lateral transporter laterally transports the media towards alignment with the offset edge axis of the output repository.
