Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for printing multiple original copies from a single transmission of one copy of a document from a document generating source. The invention employs a storage device within an image forming device to make an electronic copy of the document as the document is printed the first time. The image forming device then iteratively prints the desired number multiple original copies by reading successive print jobs from the storage device.
