ABSTRACT:
In a precollation copying apparatus with a recirculating document handler (RDH) in which a set of plural original document sheets is placed and normally plurally recirculated and copied once per circulation at the copier imaging station to produce a selected plural number of precollated copy sheet sets therefrom in a normal copy sheet output path, the improvement including a selectable alternative copy sheet path for feeding copy sheets from said normal copy sheet output path of said copier into an input station of said RDH with a selectably actuatable copy sheet output path deflector diverting a first set of copy sheets made from original document sheets into said alternative copy sheet path; and wherein the RDH automatically ejects the original document sheets without circulating them after they have been copied only once, and then the RDH automatically plurally recirculates the set of copy sheets in lieu of and as if they were original document sheets to copy the remainder of the selected number of copy sets from those copy sheets rather than original document sheets.
