A conveyor system for transporting sheets between two process stations in hard-copy output apparatus, such as copiers and printers. The system includes a plurality of interleaved belts which extend between the process stations and around rollers of different diameter to selectively raise the belts in a predetermined fashion for contact with the sheet at specific portions along the sheet transfer path. The belts are divided into two groups which operate at different speeds. The faster group receives the sheet from the first process station and moves the sheet to the second group of belts which moves at a slower speed. The speed of the second group can be adjusted by sensing the speed of the sheet in the transition area of the two belt groups to compensate for slippage between the sheet and belts.
