Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0374366A2] An apparatus (1) for feeding documents (2) into a print station (3) and/or read station (4) has feed rollers (8 and 9), bands or similar transport means and at least one stop (5) for aligning the document (2) fed before it is inserted into the print and/or read station. In this arrangement, a switch (6) or similar branch is provided in front of the alignment stop (5) in the feed direction of the document (2) in the guide path of the document (2) for this document (2) and the transportation means (8) for feeding the document can be redirected at the branch after the document edge which is at the back in the direction of feeding has been carried past so that the document (2) can be pushed back in the reverse direction at least partially into the switch (6) and its branch. Thus, each document has a matching initial position for alignment independently of its type, direction and speed of feeding. <IMAGE>
