Abstract
A feeder for supplying sheetlike items such as envelopes or the like to a processing machine such as an office printer. The feeder may employ a pickup such as a coil for detecting a change in magnetic field to thereby detect operation of an intake device in the processing machine. The feeder may pass an item downstream into the processing machine in response to such detection. The feeder may be arranged to move each item into a ready position and then advance each item downstream from the ready position while permitting realignment of the item by the processing machine.
