Abstract
A finishing apparatus is adapted to receive sheets that are to be formed into booklets from a copier/duplicator or other reproduction apparatus. The sheets are fed along a sheet transport in the finishing apparatus to an assembly station where they are jogged and formed into booklets. The sheets of the booklet may be secured together by staples, an adhesive, or other binding means. The finisher has a covering having an opening directly above support that receives a stack of booklet covers. The covers are fed from the support to the sheet transport for delivery to the assembly station in timed relation to the sheets of the booklet so that the covers are inserted at the front and/or back of the booklet.
