ABSTRACT:
Representative embodiments provide for an imaging apparatus including a controller, a first imaging engine and a second imaging engine, each coupled with the controller and configured to form images on sheet media, and a nip assembly configured to pass a sheet media. The imaging apparatus including a circuit electrically coupled to the nip assembly and coupled with the controller, the circuit configured to provide a length signal to the controller corresponding to a length of a sheet media passed through the nip assembly, and wherein the controller is configured to control normal operation of the second imaging engine in correspondence to the length signal. Also provided is a method, including imaging a first side of a sheet media, passing the sheet media through a nip assembly, determining a length of the sheet media, and selectively imaging a second side of the sheet media in correspondence to the length.
