Abstract

A duplex printing arrangement is provided for printing on both sides of a plurality of rectangular sheets of paper, each of the sheets having a pair of parallel opposite edges which are shorter than the pair of edges perpendicular thereto. Each of the sheets is transported past a printer in a direction parallel to the longer pair of the edges of the sheet. The sheets are printed on a first side as they are moved past the printer with a first edge of the pair of shorter edges being the leading edge. The sheets are thereafter turned end-for-end and moved past the printer for printing a second side of each of the sheets, with the second printing pass being such that the first edge of each of the sheets is again the leading edge.
