ABSTRACT:
In an automatic document handling system for sequentially feeding a set of multiple duplex or simplex document sheets from an input tray to a single digital electronic imaging station and restacking the sheets in collated order in an output tray, including a system for inverting duplex documents between imagings of their opposite sides, for imaging both sides of the duplex documents at the same imaging station, there are upper and lower superposed inversion loop document sheet feeding paths, the upper path providing pre-inversion of one duplex sheet prior to feeding the sheet to the imaging station, while the lower inversion loop path concurrently provides imaging and inversion of another duplex sheet therein, to increase the effective duplex documents imaging rate.
