Abstract
In a feeder assembly, an automatic document feeder is electrically connected to a scan-sorting unit. The scan-sorting unit scans, one by one, front sides of originals fed by the automatic document feeder to obtain a plurality of original image signals, and sorts, one by one, the original image signals to output a plurality of sorting signals. The automatic document feeder includes a sheet input tray, a sheet output module and a sheet-feeding mechanism. The sheet-feeding mechanism feeds the originals from the sheet input tray to the sheet output module. The sheet output module is configured to sort the originals into a plurality of original groups placed in the sheet output module according to the sorting signals. The scan-sorting unit sorts the original image signals into signal groups corresponding to the original groups according to the sorting signals, and stores the original image signals according to the signal groups.
