ABSTRACT:
Multiple sets of copies are produced of a document made up of a plurality of document sheets having pages to be copied arranged in a predetermined order. The pages of the document sheets are presented at a position for copying, and each page of the document is illuminated once each time the page is presented for copying. An optical system provides a plurality of optical paths from a page being illuminated to a photoconductor so that duplicate latent images are formed on the photoconductor each time a page of the document sheet is illuminated. In this manner, the photoconductor receives a plurality of images of one page of the document followed by a plurality of images of a second page of the document. The latent images are developed and transferred to copy sheets, and the resulting duplicate copy sheets are collected at a plurality of stations. Duplicate copy sheets are directed to different stations so that the stations each receive a set of copies of the document.
