Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1942464A1] For collating postal items into sets, the actual relative positions of the collated first and second postal items is measured and a tolerance between nominal relative positions of the first and second postal items and the actual relative positions of the collated first and second postal items is determined. For at least one later set to be collated, the feeding of the second postal item is controlled for bringing the leading or trailing edge of the second postal item into a nominal off-set relative to the leading or, respectively, the trailing edge of the first postal item, which nominal off-set is larger than or equal to the determined tolerance. An apparatus for carrying out such a method is also described.
