ABSTRACT:
In a document handling system for feeding either simplex or duplex document sheets to be imaged at an imaging station, and for restacking the simplex or duplex document sheets in proper collated order in a single output stacking tray; including a reversible exit nip for the reversal of a duplex document sheet in the exit nip while extending therefrom before returning the duplex document sheet to the imaging station for the imaging of its second side, or for document sheet ejection and stacking into the output stacking tray from the exit nip without reversal; a pivotable mounting system is provided for the output stacking tray. One end of the tray is automatically pivotable from a position substantially below the reversible exit nip to a raised position above the reversible exit nip to provide an unobstructed duplex document sheet reversing space under the output stacking tray in its raised position. The document handling system includes duplex documents exit path system for inverting and transporting the duplex document sheets to the opposite end of the stacking tray after the imaging of their second sides.
