Abstract
Sheet handling apparatus is provided including first and second convergent paths along which sheets are moved seriatim. A sheet engagement mechanism is located adjacent to the first path near the convergence of the two paths. A sheet guide member is mounted for movement between a first position adjacent to the first path and a second position adjacent to the second path. When the guide member is in the first position, the sheet engagement mechanism extends into the first path to register sheets moved along the first path. When the guide member is in the second position the sheet engagement mechanism is held remote from either path.
