Abstract
The invention concerns a method and apparatus for operating a copier/collator installation. By disabling the copier portion insofar as copy production is involved, the copier/collator installation can be used as an offline collator. This extended function allows the execution of copy and collate jobs which exceed the capacity of the collator.
