ABSTRACT:
A copy machine of the present invention may include a photoreceptor for storing a document image, a transfer station for transferring a stored document image to a sheet of copy paper at a transfer location, a supply tray for storing a quantity of copy sheets, transport rollers for conveyiong copy sheets along a path from the supply tray to the transfer location, a detector for detecting a misfeed in the path and for outputting a misfeed signal, and a controller for preventing an image on the photoreceptor from entering the transfer location upon receipt of the misfeed signal. A method for transferring an image from a source document to a copy sheet may include the steps of scanning the source document to transfer a document image onto a photoreceptor at a recording area, detecting a copy sheet misfeed in a paper path disposed between a copy sheet supply and an image transfer location, preventing the recording area from entering the transfer location when a misfeed is detected, and transferring the scanned image from the photoreceptor to a copy sheet after the misfeed is abated.
