A document bundler for a bill validator includes a document path, a transportation unit, and a clamp mechanism. The transportation unit is adapted to move a plurality of documents in series through the document path. The clamp mechanism includes a pushing member. The clamp mechanism is adapted to clamp a first document of the plurality of documents with the pushing member to inhibit movement of the first document by the transportation unit while a second document of the plurality of documents is transported substantially alongside the first document in the document path. The second document residing substantially alongside the first document forms a document bundle. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

To provide a marking device that enables to easily find a tag determined as defective (RFID error, etc.) among a plurality of tags that are stacked or the like. The marking device to use with a sheet includes cut and raising part for forming, as a failure process, a cut and raised section to be positioned at an edge of the sheet having been found the defect.

According to a method for forming packs of flat bags, a continuous line of bags moving in an oriented direction of advance is received. The bags are moved onto a receiving table on which the bags are stacked while being stopped from moving in the oriented direction of advance by an abutment. The continuous line of bags is converted into a line of overlapped bags before stacking the latter, and the bags are separated on the receiving table by separating means comprising a separating device. During this operation, a separating device is inserted by a movement in the separating direction perpendicular to the plane of the bags between a preceding bag and a following bag in the overlapped line in such a way that, when the following bag stops against the abutment, it is supported at least partially by the separating means.

A post-processing apparatus includes a conveyance path, a buffer unit, a post-processing unit, and a processor. The conveyance path receives a sheet conveyed from a conveyance apparatus in a stage preceding the post-processing apparatus. The buffer unit forms a sheet bundle constituted by sheets. The post-processing unit loads the sheet bundle performs post-processing on the sheet bundle. The processor controls conveyance of the sheets and the sheet bundle and obtains, in a case of a delay amount, a delay amount of the sheet conveyed from the conveyance apparatus in the stage or a delay amount of a preceding other sheet bundle conveyed from the buffer unit to the post-processing unit. The processor sets a shift amount between plural sheets based on the delay amount obtained by the at least one processor.
