Abstract

A document guide mechanism having an upstream end, a downstream end, and a feeding line therebetween. A cupping device including a cupping rib provides stiffness to the documents as they are moved along the feeding line from the upstream end towards the downstream end where the documents are stacked. A flexible band having predetermined parameters is used to form a 'wave' which travels along the feeding line to move the trailing edges of documents already stacked away from the feeding line to provide an entrance for the leading edge of a document being moved along the feeding line towards the stacked documents.
