Abstract

A turnover device is provided having a W-shaped arrangement of hollow rod-like deflector rods and reverser rods with an automatic threading device. The turnover device receives continuous paper in an admission slot, self-threads the paper therethrough, and returns the paper through a discharge slot in a flipped-over manner for use with a multi-functional, electrographic printer device for printing a web-shaped recording medium in simplex and duplex printing. The rods are preferably hollow with air holes to provide an air cushion between the rod and paper. Guide channels are also preferably disposed over each rod to guide the paper thereover.
