Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2018973A1] In a method for double-sided printing of recording media (81-84), preferably sheets, using a device comprising a printing unit (13) for one-sided printing, a recording medium, after printing of a first side, is again fed via a duplex path (6) to the printing unit for printing of the second side. So that the speed of printing decreases only slightly compared with one-sided printing it is proposed that, after a start phase, between printing of the first side of one of the recording media and the second side of the same recording medium (83), first of all the second side of the recording medium (82) preceding the recording medium (83) is printed and after the second side of the recording medium (82) preceding the recording medium (83) is printed, the first side of the recording medium (84) following the recording medium is printed.
