Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for use in document jogger system are provided. The apparatus includes a document detector that detects the presence and absence of documents in the pocket of the document jogger system and that automatically activates and deactivates the document jogger system when documents are present and absent, respectively. Detecting the presence and absence of documents in the pocket and automatically activating and deactivating, respectively, the document jogger system based on the detected conditions, allows an increase in overall “wall-clock” throughput and a reduction in operator intervention to be realized. The increased throughput and the reduced operator intervention improve the overall quality of document processing and allow overall document processing costs to be reduced. The apparatus may also include one or more visual indicators and associated electrical circuitry for providing a visual indication of the status of the document jogger system.
