35. A printing system in accordance with claim 34, wherein the means for controlling includes: (a) means for sensing the position of individual sheets in the means for feeding which indicates when a sheet that has had its first side previously printed is in a position in the means for feeding to have its second side printed by the printing station; (b) means for sensing when the printing station has completed the printing of the first side of a sheet; and (c) means, responsive to said two means for sensing, for causing the sheet which has had its first side printed which is in a position to have its second side printed to be fed by the means for feeding to the printing station when the two means for sensing each sense the occurrence of a sheet, and for causing the means for causing the readout of words to readout the page stored in the page memory in the direction opposite to the direction in which the page stored in the page memory was readout by the means for causing the readout during the printing f the first side during the printing of the second side.
