A document orientation mechanism is disclosed for reversing the orientation of individual documents delivered from stacks of multiple documents while maintaining a predetermined directional document stream. A predetermined directional stream of documents is fed laterally into the mechanism from an outside source. Inside the mechanism, the documents are removed in a first direction along a first portion of a moving belt, then transferred by a guide to a second portion of the moving belt which is moving in a direction opposite to the first direction, the outer face of the documents being thereby reversed. The documents are then propelled by a third portion of the moving belt out of the laterally disposed mechanism and back into the original predetermined directional document stream.
