Abstract
A recirculating document handler for simplex or duplex copying that is adapted to a fixed platen copier includes an oval shaped document path that is folded over the platen for duplex copying. For simplex copying, a second document path disects the duplex path diagonally. A reversing cavity extends from one end of the platen and is adapted to receive a document during simplex copying and return the document with the use of reversible rollers along the diagonal path to the original feed position. A deflector directs documents to either the duplex or simplex paths depending on operator console selections.
