The method of claim 3, wherein the step of driving the separated sheets downward relative to the pile comprises providing a feed roller and a idler roller on opposite sides of said separated sheets and rotating the feed roller to force said separated sheets downward. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said idler roller is connected to, and adjacent to, said stabbing member. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein providing said feed roller comprises pivoting the feed roller toward said separated sheets so that the feed roller contacts a forward-most sheet of said separated sheets. 14. The method of claim 3, wherein removing the stop comprises pivoting the stop away from the pile. 15. The method of claim 3, wherein said causing a stabbing member to be inserted into the pile comprises moving the stabbing member upwards into the pile, and wherein the method further comprises moving the stabbing member downward, after separated sheets are driven downward relative to the pile, and advancing the pile a second time. 16. The method of claim 3, wherein said step of driving the separated sheets downward relative to the pile comprises driving the separated sheets into a hole punch and punching said separated sheets. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising, after punching said separated sheets, ejecting said punched sheets generally horizontally from said hole punch to an output tray.
