First Claim
1. A method of printing with a duplexed printhead print assembly having first and second print engines arranged in an opposing in-line sequential configuration along a paper path, the method comprising the steps of:
- pushing a top sheet of paper from a paper tray of the print assembly past a paper sensor of the first print engine of the printhead;
drawing said sheet into the first print engine;
sensing a position and size of the sheet using the paper sensor;
printing image data onto the sheet via the first and second print engines; and
binding the printed sheet into a document using a binding assembly of the print assembly,wherein the step of printing includes the step of transporting the paper between the first and second print engines by means of a set of powered spike wheels aligned along the paper path, the wheels acting against a rubberized roller.
