Abstract
A processor for developing the encoded output medium of a business machine, wherein the processing rate is greater than the encoding production rate but must proceed uninterrupted once started. The medium, usually a web of paper or other film, is projected into the processor along a guided path to a set of drive rollers. When the web is firmly grasped by the drive rollers, the drive motion is caused to cease. The web continues to be delivered, however. The guided path is established by movable walls which will allow the incoming web to fan-fold by pushing the walls aside. The drive rollers are reactivated and the web separated from the source in a closely spaced time interval, so that the portion captured in the processor may then proceed through to a finished condition uninterrupted.
