Abstract
An apparatus for diverting paper along at least two paper paths in photocopiers, the apparatus comprises a paper diverter for diverting paper from one path to another path. A magnet is attached to and moves the paper diverter which movement, in turn, permits the paper to be directed from one path to another paper path. Means for creating a magnetic field interacts with the magnet for permitting the magnet to move in response to the magnetic field for enabling the magnet to move the paper diverter for ultimately permitting paper re-direction.
