Abstract
Apparatus and methods for increasing the throughput speed in copiers and printers which produce color transparency output sheets separated by special or slip sheets. A frame transfer sequence is used wherein separate component color images for different output sheets are intermixed on different areas of the transfer member at the same time. After one area contains all of the component images, the composite image is removed and the corresponding frame is skipped while the interleaving sheet is fed through the transfer station of the apparatus. The sequence is repeated until the desired number of output copies are obtained. The invention is applicable to both intermediate and direct transfer reproducing apparatus.
