Abstract
An arrangement for transporting a book facedown onto an and off of a copier includes a platen transport and a belt transport positioned on opposite sides of a vacuum plenum that is used to peel the bottommost page from a book to turn the same as the book is moved back and forth between the transport platen and belt member. As the book moves the vacuum plenum a by predetermined amount, it contacts a roller and is supported on the roller as it is transported onto and off of the platen by the platen transport. The roller reduces the friction between the pages of the book and the platen.
