Abstract

A document sorting device (1) is disclosed. The device has a document transport; an output pocket (5a,5b,5c) associated with a diverter (400,401,402) for diverting selected documents from the transport into the output pocket; and a first sensor (222) for detecting the presence of a document in a region of the transport downstream from the diverter. The first sensor (222) is connected to a controller adapted to indicate that a document has been diverted into the output pocket when the first sensor fails to detect the document.
