Abstract:
1. A media path crossover comprising: a first crossover pathway on which sheets of print media are conveyed across a crossover junction in a first direction without interruption from a first bypass pathway to a second bypass pathway; a second crossover pathway on which sheets of print media are conveyed across the same crossover junction in a second direction without interruption from the second bypass pathway to the first bypass pathway, the second crossover pathway intersecting the first crossover pathway at the same crossover junction; the crossover junction comprises a portion of the first crossover pathway and the second crossover pathway, wherein the first crossover pathway includes a first input path and a first output path, and wherein the second crossover pathway includes a second input path and a second output path; the first input path separate from the second input path wherein the sheets on the first crossover pathway traverse the same crossover junction in said first direction in intersheet gaps selectively between the sheets traversing the junction on the second crossover pathway in said second direction; and, at least one access panel for clearing at least one sheet from one of the first crossover pathway and the second crossover pathway.
