Abstract
In one example, a sheet handling device includes: a first mechanism configured to receive a flexible sheet moving in a first direction in a first orientation and turn the sheet to a second direction; a second mechanism configured to receive the sheet moving in the second direction, turn the sheet to a third direction and simultaneously reorient the sheet to a second orientation; and a third mechanism configured to receive the reoriented sheet moving in the third direction and turn the sheet to a fourth direction. The second mechanism may include, for example, a trio of elongated rollers and an endless loop belt wrapping the trio of rollers to form a nip between the belt and one of the rollers for receiving a first leading edge of the sheet in the second direction and expelling a second leading edge of the sheet in the third direction.
