A pharmaceutical filling system for a high volume pharmacy is described. The system can include a paper feed device and method. The system may include a paper collator with at one selectively openable shelf. A control device may monitor the capacity of the selectively openable shelf, and instruct a printer to hold printing additional print jobs. The selectively openable shelf may then be opened to allow the printed literature resting thereon to fall to a lower shelf, and the printer can then be restarted. Sheets of printed literature may be drawn from the paper collator, collected with any other sheets of printed literature associated with a prescription order, and mated with the prescription order for shipment.

An automated media sheet processing system for automated collating, stacking and transferring media sheets exiting a media source includes a dynamically oriented baffle having a plurality of stepped bins. Each stepped bin is slidingly arranged adjacent another stepped bin, with the stepped bins configured to receive media sheets and allow them to fall onto and accumulate on the stepped bins. The stepped bins may move and change orientation into a stair configuration descending in different directions. An automated reciprocating pusher may move in the different directions orthogonally to the stepped bins to move and collate the media sheets into collated stacks downstream the stepped bins on different or opposite sides of the dynamically oriented baffle, with no reset or extraneous movement needed between reciprocating pushes. No reset is needed because the reciprocating pusher ends a first push in position to start a next push to the opposite side.
