ABSTRACT:
An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus, utilizing an intermediate image transfer member to transfer marking particle images to a receiver member, including a mechanism for facilitating duplex copying. The mechanism for facilitating duplex copying has a prefuser in juxtaposition with a portion of a receiver member travel path, downstream of the intermediate transfer member. An inverter is provided for transporting a receiver member from the prefuser back to the intermediate transfer member in a side-for-side inverted orientation. A control selectively activates the prefuser for tacking a first side image to a receiver member, and diverts such receiver member into the inverter to be transported to the intermediate transfer member to have a second side image formed thereon.
