Abstract (en)
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for compensating for a speed differential between an imaging system (42) and an on-line development/finishing processor (44) in an electronic pre-press system (40) using a transfer buffer (58) having a plurality of storage devices (74,76). Each storage device comprises a first section (102) having first and second surfaces, a second section (104) having first and second surfaces, and a system for securing the first and second sections together to form a storage device (74), wherein the storage device (74) has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a capture slot (124) for capturing a leading end of the media (28), wherein the first surfaces of the first and second sections form the capture slot (124), and wherein the second surfaces of the first and second sections form an exterior surface (106) of the storage device. <IMAGE>
