Abstract
A simplified automated process for printing duplex copy sheets with correct edge margins from first and second original documents having a different dimension than the copy sets so that the duplex copy sheets will have substantially equal margins from the image areas on both sides of the duplex copy sheets irrespective of these different sheet sizes, including measuring at least one dimension of an original document sheet and automatically subtracting the known size dimension of the selected copy sheets in the dimension which includes the margin from the corresponding dimension of the original document sheet to determine a desired duplex image shift dimension, and shifting the image printed on second side of the copy sheet from the second original document by a distance corresponding to the calculated shift to produce duplex copy sheets with substantially equal margins.
