Abstract:
1. A method of printing using an electrophotographic print engine including a single development module that can develop a single toner on a primary imaging member of the single development module and a multi-development module that can develop either one of two toners on a primary imaging member of the multi-development module, the method comprising: determining a combination of toners required to form an image according to a job specification; determining that the combination of toners includes two toners in the multi-development module, developing and transferring first toner separations onto a receiver including a first one of the two toners in a development station of the multi-development module passing the receiver through the print engine a second time; developing and transferring a color separation using the other of the two toners in the multi-development module onto the first toner separations; and determining that the identified combination of toners does not include two toners in two development stations in the multi-development module, forming and transferring a first combination of the identified toner separations onto the receiver and diverting the receiver to at least one of an inverter and an exit.
