ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a two photoreceptor, single pass duplex reproduction system having a heat insulating prefuser transport device and first and second transfer stations. In particular, the prefuser transport is a pair of cold, toner compacting rolls adjacent the second transfer station for immediate pick up of a copy sheet supporting unfused images on both sides. The compacting rolls tack the unfused images to the copy sheet. The compacting rolls also insulate the photoreceptor from the heat of the fuser and convey the copy sheet immediately to the fuser. The fuser permanently fixes the images onto the copy sheet in one fuser operation. In a preferred embodiment, the fuser rolls operate at a slightly lower peripheral velocity than the compacting rolls. Also, because of the tacking of the image by the cold rolls, the fuser rolls operate at a relatively lower temperature or pressure than normally.
