Decollator Definition/Meaning:

1. A machine that can process multicopy printed output into separate stacks of copy and used carbon paper. It is normally done as an off-line activity and may be combined with a burster that breaks the continuous forms at the perforations to give separate sheets.

2. A machine associated with card-based data processing systems that could separate a punched-card file into its constituent parts, i.e. header cards, which were frequently reused, and detail cards, which, once processed, were kept only for a short time. This facility was sometimes built into the collating machine. See collator.
