A document processing device and method of processing documents are disclosed. In one aspect, a document processing device includes a path of travel of documents through the document processing device, the path of travel including an approximately straight portion between a document tray and a document outlet and a return path to the document tray. The document processing device also includes a magnetic ink character recognition reader placed adjacent to the path of travel, and oriented to read magnetic characters printed on a document passing along the path of travel, the document having a front surface and a rear surface. The document processing device also includes an image capture device placed adjacent to the approximately straight portion of the path of travel and oriented to capture an image of the document passing along the path of travel. A plurality of rollers at least partially defines the path of travel, and includes a drive roller configured to route documents along the path of travel. A one-way gate defines a portion of the path of travel, the one-way gate capable of cooperating with the drive roller to reverse the orientation of the front and rear surfaces of the document within the path of travel.
