Abstract
Copy sheets are scheduled for being printed and output by an imaging system according to a method in which the scheduling is selectively conducted in one of a first mode where for each set of copy sheets to be pritned, the copy sheets are consecutively output from the copy sheet paper path without any skipped pitches between each consecutively output copy sheet, and a second mode, where for each set of copy sheets to be printed, the copy sheets are output from the copy sheet paper path with skipped pitches between at least some of the consecutively output copy sheets. The second mode of operation results in copy sheets being output from the imaging device at a lower frequency than in the first mode.
