Print media rotary transport apparatus and method

A print media rotary transport apparatus comprising:

• a first print media input;
• a second print media input;
• a print media rotary bypass operatively connected to the first print media input;
• a print media rotary transport operatively connected to the second print media input;
• a print media output operatively connected to the print media rotary bypass and operatively connected to the print media rotary transport,
• wherein the print media rotary bypass is configured to selectively receive a print media sheet and transport the print media sheet to the print media output, and the print media rotary transport is configured to selectively receive a print media sheet, rotate the print media sheet about an axis orthogonal to the print media sheet plane, and transport the rotated print media sheet to the print media output.

A printing system comprising:

• a first printing module comprising:
• a print media input;
• and
• a print media output;
• and
• a print media diverter module comprising:
• a print media input;
• a first print media output;
• and
• a second print media output operatively connected to the first printing module print media input, wherein the diverter module is configured to selectively rotate a print media sheet about an axis orthogonal to the print media sheet plane and rotate the print media sheet a predetermined angle for routing the print media sheet to the first printing module print media input for subsequent image marking, and the diverter module is configured to selectively route a print media sheet from the print media input to the first print media output.

A printing system comprising:

• a first printing module comprising:
• a print media input;
• and
• a print media output;
• and
• a print media collector module comprising:
• a first print media input;
• a second print media input;
• and
• a print media output, wherein the second print media input is operatively connected to the first printing module print media output and the collector module is configured to selectively rotate a print media sheet routed from the first printing module print media output a predetermined angle and selectively route a print media sheet from the collector first print media input to the print media collector output.

A xerographic printing system comprising:

• two or more printing modules substantially aligned in parallel;
• two or more print media diverter modules;
• and
• two or more print media collector modules;
• wherein each print media diverter is operatively connected to a respective printing module input and each print media collector is operatively connected to a respective printing module output.
