A method of processing sheet media in a sheet processing apparatus comprising the steps of:a) moving individual media sheets from a first location to a processing location of said sheet processing apparatus;b) processing a first face side of a media sheet at said processing location;c) moving said sheet from said processing location to cause a leading edge of said sheet to engage a moving generally radially extending surface of a sheet transport roller assembly;d) rotating said transport roller assembly in a selected direction to cause said generally radially extending surface to engage said leading edge as it moves from said processing location to direct said leading edge into one of two nips defining sheet delivery paths extending between said transport roller assembly and first and second sheet guides;d) gripping opposite face sides of said sheet in said selected one of said nips and rotating said transport roller assembly in a direction to pull said sheet between said roller assembly and the associated guide to move said sheet away from said processing location toward a processed sheet location.
