Outline of Mechanism

How the designated original is copied in the duplex original to duplex copy mode In the duplex original to duplex copy mode, although the original designated with the cover or chaptering mode is always copied on the front side of the cover or slip sheet, it is copied during the second original feeding cycle, not during the first one. This is because the cover or slip sheet must enter the duplex tray if the designated original is copied during the first original feeding cycle. To allow this, the original recirculating motion in this mode is different from that in the duplex original to duplex copy mode without the cover or chaptering mode, as follows:

1. During the 1st Original Feeding Cycle
The front side of the originals set in the RDH is copied as usual. However, the designated original is not copied during this cycle. Before the designated original feeds out to the stack feed table, it is not inverted. As a result, the front side (image side) of the designated original only faces the direction of the reverse side of the other originals and stacked in the stack feed table.

2. During the 2nd and the Following Original
Feeding Cycle During the 2nd cycle, the reverse side of the originals is copied. The designated original is copied during this cycle. The completed duplex copies are delivered to the shift tray. As the copy image on the cover or slip sheet is made while the reverse side of the other originals is copied, only the cover or slip sheet is inverted in the finisher to stack all copies in page order. For the following cycles, both sides of the originals, including the designated original, are copied as usual in the duplex original to duplex copy mode until all the desired copy sets complete. Even during this period, only the cover or slip sheet is inverted in the finisher to stack all copies in page order.
