Abstract
A method and device for off-sorting documents of a specific series-type using a device capable of discriminating among different series-types of documents. A stack of documents are received in an input receptacle and transported, one at a time, past a document type discriminating unit to an output receptacle where the series-type of each document is discriminated. Next it is determined whether the series-type of a current document is a specified series-type. Depending on the series-type of the current document either (1) operation of the device is halted when the current document does have the specified series-type and the immediately preceding document does not have the specified series-type; (2) operation of the device is halted when the current document does not have the specified series-type and the immediately preceding document does have the specified series-type; or (3) operation of the device is continued.
