Abstract
A reproduction machine adapted for producing copies of an original on both sides of a copy sheet and forwarding the finished copy to a collator. An inverter-reverser is employed which allows single-sided copy to a waiting station for subsequent processing to allow copying on the reverse side of the sheet to produce duplex copies, and for inverting duplex copies prior to delivery to the collator to provide the required sheet orientation in the collator. A sheet buckle control device cooperates with the inverter-reverser to insure that papers of widely different paper sizes, weights and stiffness will be inverted during the inverting stage of delivery of duplex copies.
