Abstract

A vacuum feeding mechanism for a document handling apparatus, the feeding mechanism comprising: an adjustable pick (5) for separating a stack of documents (1) from a downstream transport system; a rotatable wheel (3) connected to a vacuum port and operable to pull a document (1) by suction from the top of the stack toward the wheel (3) and move the document over the pick (5) to the downstream transport system; the wheel (3) and the pick (5) being separated by a clearance distance; means for determining adjustment coordinates in dependence upon characteristics of a document (1) in the stack; wherein the position of the pick (5) is automatically adjustable in two independent dimensions in dependence upon said adjustment coordinates.
