A method of synchronizing the arrival of copy sheets at a photoreceptor in an image processing having a copy sheet path having a plurality of segments coupled at given transfer zones, a plurality of copy sheet drives, an image transfer station, a photoreceptor and a controller. The controller directs the image processing apparatus by tracking the movement of copy sheets at the image transfer station in relation to the movement of the photoreceptor, monitoring the movement of copy sheets at the transfer zones, determining the need to adjust the spacing of copy sheets along the plurality of segments of the copy sheet path, and suitably activating selected copy sheet drives.
In an image processing apparatus for producing images on copy sheets including a copy sheet path having a plurality of selectively controlled segments with transfer zones, each segment with a transfer zone having a corresponding copy sheet drive to adjust copy sheet spacing and a controller for directing the image processing apparatus, a method of maintaining spacing between copy sheets along the copy sheet path comprising the steps of:
In an image processing apparatus for producing images on copy sheets including a copy sheet path having a plurality of segments, the segments being coupled at given transfer zones, a plurality of copy sheet drives, and a controller for directing the image processing apparatus, a method of adjusting spacing between copy sheets at each of said segments along the copy sheet path comprising the steps of:
