Apparatus and method for obtaining a constant copy output rate in color copiers having a transfer station which produces more than one color copy at substantially the same time. The time lapse between making another set of color copies, necessitated by transferring several color image frames in sequence, is utilized to provide the constant output rate. The sheet transport system between the transfer station and the fuser station is controlled such that it delivers the copy sheets to the fuser at time intervals different than that at which they are received from the transfer station. According to the preferred embodiment, the conveyor is stopped for a predetermined time between delivering each sheet to the fuser from the same set.
