Abstract
A method of intermingling images of different sizes on a photosensitive surface and yet avoid the seam of the photosensitive surface and synchronize the transfer of the images to intermingled copy sheets of various sizes by determining the size of each image before projecting the image onto the photo sensitive surface; predicting the relationship of the image to the seam of the photosensitive surface; deciding that a given image would overlay the seam of the photosensitive surface, applying a timing adjustment to project the given image onto the photosensitive surface in avoidance of the seam of the photosensitive surface, and transferring each of the images including said given image from the photosensitive surface to copy sheets whereby images of different sizes are intermingled along the photosensitive surface and copy sheets of different sizes are intermingled along the copy sheet path.
