1. A multi-mode in-line media conveying system adapted to invert media when in one mode and bypass media inversion when in another mode of operation, comprising:
a first bypass mode wherein a first idler pulley includes a first idler belt supported by a first pair of spaced apart shaft mounted idler rollers and a second idler pulley that includes a second idler belt supported by a second pair of spaced apart shaft mounted idler rollers, said first idler belt being configured in a horizontal plane and positioned in endless, non-twisted, superimposed and parallel relationship to said second idler belt such that media passed between said first and second idler belts is conveyed in a horizontal plane from an entrance point of said multi-mode in-line media conveying system through an exit point of said multi-mode in-line media conveying system thereby bypasses inversion; and a second inverting mode wherein a pivot motion drive mechanism connected to one of said first pair of shaft mounted idler rollers and one of said second pair of shaft mounted idler rollers is actuated in order to pivot said first and second idler belts into a second position causing twisting of said first and second idler belts into a second position to thereby invert media passed from said entrance point of said multi-mode in-line media inverting and bypass system before reaching said exit point of said multi-mode in-line media conveying system. |
