Abstract
An apparatus and method for sequence a 'two-up' imaging drum for four color process color is provided. The sequencing provides enough separation between the receivers to operate an image fixing station as a slower throughput speed then the linear speed of the receivers exiting the transfer station and thereby provide more fusing energy and higher image quality without appreciable loss in productivity. The sequence also provides for better registration, by maintaining the receiving member conforming to the transfer drum during the total toning process.
