Abstract
A media transport system includes a vacuum plenum and a belt positioned over the vacuum plenum. The belt includes at least one member having a first region and a second region that both include holes that enable the vacuum plenum to apply a force to hold print media against the belt. The belt also includes slots formed through the at least one member in an inter-copy gap positioned between the first region and the second region. Each slot is formed with a larger area than an area of each hole.
