ABSTRACT:
Imaging apparatus includes a primary image member upon which first and second toner images are formed and an intermediate image member to which one of said toner images is transferred. Duplex imaging is accomplished by transferring one image from the primary image member to one side of a receiving sheet and a second image from the intermediate image member to the other side. The intermediate image member extends toward a fuser to transport the receiving sheet to the fuser while the first image is being transferred. Both images are transferred to the receiving sheet while not being backed by the other image member. In a full-color portion four different color toner images are formed and transferred in registration to form a multicolor image which is transferred to the intermediate image member permitting the apparatus to function in either a high-volume simplex or duplex imaging mode or in a low-volume, full-color imaging mode.
