Abstract
A paper handling system including a gathering path and a plurality of paper handling units. The (114 to 138), said gathering path is defined by a plurality of essentially corresponding modules (102, 200), each of said modules (102, 200) being provided with a collect box (104, 210), a transfer bridge (212) for effecting supply in the direction of transport (106, 202), at least one transfer bridge (214, 216) for effecting supply in a direction transversely to the direction of transport, and a discharge unit (300).

A paper handling system, comprising:
- a plurality of paper handling units;
- a modular gathering path, said modular gathering path including a plurality of structurally similar modules, and each of said modules includes at least a collector box, at least one transfer bridge for effecting supply in a predetermined direction, a plurality of sensors for detecting whether a paper to be handled has passed a predetermined position in said module, a discharge unit, and a module controller that controls operation of said module in conjunction with said transfer bridge, said sensors and said discharge unit;
- and
- a central computing unit, operatively connected to each of said module controllers for said modules and operates to supervises overall operating sequence of said paper handling system.
