A document alignment system comprises a feed system (,), 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 (,) detects the lateral position of a document upstream of the elongate path. A control system (,&prime;) is responsive to the detector (,) to adjust the feed system (,) so that the document undergoes a desired amount of lateral movement as it is moved along the elongate path.
