ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus including a processing section for transferring a developed image onto a copy sheet and a finishing section for receiving plural copy sheets to generate a print set is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first sheet feeding apparatus associated with the processing section for feeding the sheets through the processing station at a first translational speed and a second sheet feeding apparatus associated with the finishing section for feeding the sheets to the finishing section at a second translational speed. The apparatus also includes a sheet transfer apparatus for transferring the sheets from the first sheet feeding apparatus to the second sheet feeding apparatus, for changing the speed of the sheets from the first translational speed to the second translational speed and for positioning adjacent sheets in the second feeding apparatus in a spaced apart relationship therebetween defining a space between adjacent sheets. The apparatus further includes a controller operably connected to the sheet transfer apparatus for controlling the feeding of sheets through the sheet transfer apparatus to permit the space to be selectively determined.
