Literature packaging system for a high-volume pharmacy

A high-volume pharmacy, comprising:

• a bagger mechanism configured to receive a bag from a bag source and open a top of the bag;
• a tray with a slot and a literature receiving area that is configured to hold literature in a position above the slot;
• and
• a robotic arm extending to a distal end that has a literature grabbing mechanism, the literature grabbing mechanism including a plurality of fingers that extend parallel to one another, the plurality of fingers including a central finger and a pair of outer fingers that are located on opposite sides of the central finger in a first direction;
• the central finger being movable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction between a disengaged position where the central finger is spaced from the outer fingers in the second direction to an engaged position where the central finger at least partially overlaps with the outer fingers in the second direction;
• and
• a controller configured to activate the robotic arm to engage the literature on the tray at the slot by moving the central finger, the outer fingers or both in the second direction to fold the literature around the central finger and to insert the literature into the bag.
