Zusammenfassung:A job offset apparatus to separate into multiple stacks the output from a copier, printer or the like, includes a platform (12) upon which a plurality of offset assemblies are rotatably mounted, each offset assembly including a skew roller (16) which turns about an axis that, when the offset assemblies are rotated, is not parallel to the axis about which a drive roller (22) associated with the skew roller turns. A gear (70) or rack-and-pinion (80,84) offset actuation system enables the offset assemblies to rotate repeatedly back and forth between predetermined positions, so that as media (52) encounters the skew rollers it is directed against a reference edge (56) and into an output stack associated with the offset assembly position.
