ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A copy distribution system for sorting copies of document information in a stacking mode a regular collating mode or a special collating mode where different numbers of copies are distributed to sorter bins at the option of a machine operator. A programmable device settable by the machine operator enables distributing sheets in different modes of operation. In the special collating mode logic counts the copies advanced along a transport path until the selected count including zero has been satisfied and a signal is then supplied to an index motor which mechanically opens and closes the gates to the bins. Upon energization of the index motor each of the gates opens and closes in a predetermined order until distribution to all of the bins has been satisfied in accordance with the setting of the programmable device, In the regular sort mode of operation each of the gates is opened and closed in sequence after one copy sheet has been received in each of the bins and the operation is repeated for the preselected copy distribution in each of the bins. For the stack mode of operation only one bin receives all the copy sheets.
