Parallel printing architecture with parallel horizontal printing modules

An integrated printing system utilizing a xerographic imaging system comprising:

• a data source adapted for generating electronic image data and transmitting same to a plurality of printing modules;
• said plurality of printing modules including at least [one] two substantially horizontally aligned printing modules including an entrance media path and an exit media path;
• and
• at least one interface media transport including at least one substantially horizontal media transport path, wherein the said horizontal media transport path transports media to said at least two substantially horizontally aligned printing modules in a direction that passes the said exit path before passing the said entrance media path.

An integrated printing system comprising:

• a first array of at least [one] two substantially horizontally aligned printing modules including at least one entrance media path and at least one exit media path;
• a second array of at least [one] two substantially horizontally aligned printing modules including at least one entrance media path and at least one exit media path;
• and
• at least one interface media transport including at least one substantially horizontal media transport path, wherein the said horizontal media transport path transports media to said at least [one] two horizontally aligned printing modules in a direction that passes the said at least one exit path before passing the said at least one entrance path, and said first array and said second array are located substantially vertically to each other.
