Patent ID: 8387966

Claim:
A method for processing a set of at least one sheet in a sheet processing apparatus, said method comprising the steps of: determining a lateral delivery position for the set of at least one sheet; moving a post-processing module with respect to the set of at least one sheet to an operating position such that the post-processing module is able to operate at a predetermined position on the set of at least one sheet; and operating the post-processing module to subsequently: engage the set of at least one sheet to process the set of at least one sheet into a processed set of at least one sheet; move the post-processing module from the operating position to the lateral delivery position in coupling engagement with the processed set of at least one sheet, such that the processed set of at least one sheet is moved to the lateral delivery position; and disengage the post-processing module to deliver the processed set of at least one sheet at the lateral delivery position, wherein the coupling engagement during the lateral movement of the post-processing module and the processed set of at least one sheet comprises an at least partially protruding engagement.
