Abstract
The device includes a magazine for storing divider films to separate sheets output by an office machine and deposited directly in stacks, wherein the divider films are placed between discrete groups of associated sheets. In order to be able to associate the sheet groups separated by the divider films with particular users of the office machine, different types of divider films, for example differently colored divider films, are used. The different types of divider films are identified by an automatically detectable identifying code and are deposited onto the sheet stack according to this identifying code.
