Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for flipping a media sheet. The novel system ( 10 ) includes a first mechanism ( 12 ) for receiving and holding a media sheet ( 16 ) and a second mechanism ( 118 ) for rotating the first mechanism ( 12 ) about an axis parallel to a transverse axis of the media sheet ( 16 ). In an illustrative embodiment, the first mechanism ( 12 ) is comprised of a predetermined number of slots ( 14 ), each slot ( 14 ) adapted to receive and hold a media sheet ( 16 ). Inversion of a media sheet ( 16 ) is accomplished by inputting a sheet ( 16 ) with a leading edge and a trailing edge into a slot at an input position ( 18 ), rotating the first mechanism ( 12 ) until the slot is at an output position ( 20 ), and outputting the sheet ( 16 ) with the former trailing edge now leading.
