Abstract
Flexible material secured at one end and pressed against a document guide of the other end is used to provide a directional document guide and diverter. Dual fingers press against the guide with a feed belt moving through a slot in the diverter. The document forces the diverter to one side permitting the document to pass therethrough. However, upon return the diverter changes the course of the document directing it away from its original input position to a storage hopper.
