Abstract
A paper transport simulates movement of a plurality of documents past the print station of a ink jet printer. The transport includes an arrangement for transporting a continuous paper web past the print station and a tachometer drive roller for contacting the tachometer wheel of the printer system. The transport further includes a document simulator wheel aligned with the photo-optical document detector of the printer system such that the movement of a succession of documents past the print station may be simulated while the printer system prints upon the continuous paper web.
