ABSTRACT:
A system and method for flipping a media sheet. The novel system (10) includes a first mechanism (20) for inputting a media sheet (12) with a leading edge (22) and a trailing edge (24), a second mechanism (14) for receiving and holding the media sheet (12), a third mechanism (15) for translating the second mechanism (14) from an input position (16) to an output position (18), and a fourth mechanism (26) for outputting the media sheet (12) leading with the former trailing edge (24). In an illustrative embodiment, the second mechanism (14) includes a series of slots, each slot adapted to receive and hold a media sheet. One sheet can be input into a slot at the input position (16) while another sheet is output from a slot at the output position (18). Several slots (14) may be incorporated into the mechanism (10), such that slots index from the input position (16) to the output position (18) with one or more intermediate stops in between.
