Abstract

An approach is provided for directing a cut media in a media feed system. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a media to be fed through an incoming media path. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, air to be supplied through an air input configured to input air along a curved baffle positioned between the incoming media path and at least a first outgoing media path. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, the media to take one of the first outgoing media path and a second outgoing media path based, at least in part, on an interaction between the air supplied through the air input and the curved baffle.
