Electronic Sorting

Electronic sorting is the ability to collate documents digitally without requiring moving mechanical sorter bins. The copier uses its memory and processing power to produce multiple collated sets, often using offset stacking (alternating orientation) to separate each set for easy distribution. Electronic sorting eliminates the cost, complexity, and maintenance of mechanical sorters while providing similar functionality. Most modern digital copiers include electronic sorting as a standard feature, with mechanical sorters reserved for high-volume applications requiring separation into many bins simultaneously.
