Abstract
A printed sheets output inverting and stacking system for printers printing normal size sheets oriented widthwise and long size sheets oriented lengthwise, with a disk type rotatable sheet inverting and stacking system positioned adjacent to one side of the printer output path with its axis of rotation parallel to the direction of sheet movement of the printer. A scuffer or other lateral sheet feeding system receives the printed sheet output of the printer and laterally moves each sheet towards one side of the printer output path, at right angles to the original direction of sheet movement, and into the sheet inverting slots of the rotatable disk inverter-stacker, so that the long size sheets are inverted widthwise, for increased stacking reliability.
