Abstract

Gaps which naturally exist in the output of printed copy sheets from a duplex paper path due to duplex printing are selectively combined with interset interval skipped pitches so as to provide an appropriate interset interval between each set of printed copy sheets output from a printer, while minimizing the number of skipped pitches which actually need to be scheduled.
