The device comprises a first guide 11, configured to receive the cut-sheet medium from a first direction A, to overturn the cut-sheet medium, and to eject the cut-sheet medium in a second direction B; and a second guide 22 configured to receive the cut-sheet medium from the second direction, to overturn the cut-sheet medium, and to eject the cut-sheet medium in a third direction D. The device further includes a first conveyance device 5 such as a conveyor belt configured to transport the cut-sheet medium to the first guide; and a second conveyance 27 device configured to transport the cut-sheet medium away from the second guide, wherein the first direction is not parallel to the third direction. The device may comprise a reconfiguration means that selectively determines if the sheets are directed to or bypass the guides.
