Claim Text:
1. A media processing device comprising: a first path that conveys a first medium from a first entry to a first exit; a second path that conveys a second medium from a second entry to a second exit; a common path that conveys both the first medium and the second medium from a junction between the first path and the second path; a scanner that images the first medium or the second medium passing through the common path; an inkjet head that prints on the first medium passing through the first path, wherein the first entry, the first exit and the second entry are located toward a front of the media processing device; the junction is located towards a rear of the media processing device; wherein the front of the media processing device is distal to the rear of the media processing device along a longitudinal axis of the media processing device; wherein the second path extends in a slanted direction at an angle θ relative to the longitudinal axis of the media processing device; a path switching member that can switch at the junction between a first position connecting the first path to the common path, and a second position connecting the second path to the common path; the path switching member can pivot on a predetermined pivot axis and switch to the first position and second position, and the path switching member further comprises a cam mechanism that converts reciprocal linear movement of a shutter between a closed position and an open position to rotating movement of the path switching member between the first position and the second position.
