ABSTRACT:
A special sheet handling apparatus is provided for use with a printing system, the printing system including a print engine. The special sheet handling apparatus includes a special sheet insertion path operatively coupled with the print engine. Substrates, each having a stock orientation and being imaged with the print engine, are delivered to the special sheet insertion path as output, while a special sheet, having a special sheet orientation, when disposed in the special sheet insertion path, is added to the output by the special sheet handling orientation. A processor determines whether the stock orientation is the same as the special sheet orientation. When the orientations are different, and the special sheet is invertible, the special sheet is inverted at an inverting station communicating with the special sheet insertion path.
