Abstract
An electronic reprographic printing system for printing on output sheets of a print job, wherein a set of electronic page images is created, such as by scanning a set of original documents, storing the electronic page images in memory, and wherein certain images are variably shifted on the output sheets. The amount of image shift is dependent upon the size dimensions of the original documents and the size dimensions of the output sheets. This size dependent shifting allows for printing onto output sheets of varying sizes, or scanning from original documents of different sizes, such as from different scanning modes. The variable image shift is particularly useful for printing on tabs where the original documents are all of a standard size, and the images are specially shifted onto the tabs during printing.
