Abstract:
A method for printing individual sheets in a printer or copier, comprising the steps of:successively supplying individual sheets to a first printing unit for printing on a first side with a first color; successively supplying the individual sheets to a second printing unit for printing with a second color on the first side; turning over the individual sheets; successively re-supplying the individual sheets after said turning over step to the first printing unit for printing with the first color on a second side; providing the individual sheets at a predetermined nominal spacing from one another at a transfer printing speed that is greater than a length of an individual sheet as viewed in a transport direction; and successively filling gaps between the individual sheets arising as a result of the distance between the individual sheets by pulling in sheets from a paper input in a continuous operating mode so that every second sheet is a sheet pulled in from the paper input and is preceded by an already printed individual sheet.
