  • Patent number: 4401302
    Abstract: An information distributor has an entry tray for receiving document originals to be copied and also receives magnetic cards carrying indicia representing information to be reproduced. Copies emerge from a copying mechanism and enter an aligner which physically offsets selected sheets relative to nonselected sheets for stacking in a copy exit pocket. In the aligner, a fixed reference edge deflects incoming sheets along a reference line. A movable reference edge may be selectively lowered between the fixed reference edge and incoming sheets to deflect sheets along another line parallel to, but not coincident with, the reference line.
