Abstract
A method of printing on print media includes the steps of: transporting a first print medium from a first paper bin through a nip; determining an imaging area in which printing occurs on the first print medium and/or a second print medium; transporting the second print medium from a second paper bin to the nip; and overlapping the first print medium and the second print medium in the nip an amount which is dependent upon the determined imaging area.
Claims20
A method of printing on print media, comprising the steps of:
- transporting a first print medium from a first paper bin through a nip;
- determining an imaging area in which printing occurs on at least one of said first print medium and a second print medium;
- transporting said second print medium from a second paper bin to said nip;
- and
- overlapping said first print medium and said second print medium in said nip an amount which is dependent upon said determined imaging area.
A method of printing on print media, comprising the steps of:
- transporting a first print medium through a nip;
- determining an imaging area in which printing occurs on at least one of said first print medium and a second print medium;
- sensing an edge of at least one of said first print medium and said second print medium;
- overlapping said second print medium and said first print medium in said nip such that said determined imaging area is aligned with said sensed edge.
A method of printing on print media, comprising the steps of:
- transporting a plurality of print media to a paper transport assembly;
- determining imaging areas in which printing occurs on a plurality of said print media;
- and
- overlapping said plurality of print media in said paper transport assembly an amount which is dependent upon said determined imaging areas.
