Abstract (en)

Method for double-sided printing of recording media, preferably sheets, comprising a printing unit for one-sided printing, a recording medium, after printing of a first side, again being fed via a duplex path to the printing unit for printing of the second side, and the recording media, before printing of a first side, being received by means of a receiving roller from a storage container. So an existing device for one-sided printing can be used with merely minor adaptation for double-sided printing and so the speed of printing decreases only slightly compared with one-sided printing it is proposed that between printing the first side of one of the recording media and the second side of the same recording medium at least one side of a further recording medium is printed.
