Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3466703A1] A method of printing on a printing system having a print station (16) and a duplex path (50) that is capable of accommodating a plurality of media sheets (60) at a time, the method comprising a step of checking the sheets for possible damage before they are fed to the print station (16), characterized by the steps of: (a) determining, for each duplex sheet to be printed, a likelihood P that the sheet will be damaged in a process of printing an image on a first side of the sheet, so that the sheet would have to be discarded; (b) at or before the time when the first image is printed, deciding, on the basis of the determined likelihood P, whether or not to print at least one redundant copy of the sheet; and (c) when at least one redundant copy has been printed, and before a second image is printed on a second side of one of the sheets, checking whether the sheet and its redundant copies comprise at least one non-damaged sheet, and, if that is the case, selecting that sheet for further processing and discarding all other copies.
