A reprographic device having means for eliminating undesired spacings between lines of text in copies of a source medium. Such means will often have the desired effect of reducing the number of pages in a multi-page document. The present invention accomplishes this by scanning the multiple pages to create bit-mapped images, segmenting the images to identify lines of text and graphics, identifying a distance X between segments, identifying a segment spacing factor which will cause reduction in the spacing between lines of text, laying out the segments in a print page memory so that the segments are separated by a distance based on the distance X and the segment spacing factor and printing out the contents of the page memory.
