A document feeder includes advance, separation, and transport rollers for driving checks in turn along a feedpath from an input tray containing a stack of the checks A sensor is disposed between the separation and transport rollers for detecting presence of the checks therebetween. A controller is joined to the rollers for controlling speed thereof, and is operatively joined to the sensor for measuring intercheck gaps between the separation and transport rollers. The controller actively adjusts the intercheck gaps by temporarily changing speed of the separation roller at the beginning of the feedpath near the input tray. The intercheck gaps are measured and corrected between the separation and transport rollers for precise control thereof while maximizing throughput.
