In a sheet output registering and stacking system with an output stacking tray for accumulating, registering, and stacking on top of preceding sheets in a superposed set stack the printed sheets sequentially individually outputted by a reproduction system, the improvement comprising:
- a low force on-line sheet hole punching system integral said output stacking tray for punching holes through only one said individual sheet at a time on top of said superposed set stack of printed sheets as each said individual sheet is so registered and stacked, and before the next sequential sheet is so registered and stacked, so that all of the preceding sheets of said set stack have underlying commonly superposed holes.
