ABSTRACT:
A photo and pressure sensitive printer permitting the feeding and discharging of a photosensitive recording medium at the front of the printer housing, having a compact design and slim built, which can easily be integrated into other equipment, such as a personal computer, etc., at low cost. A self-coloring microcapsule sheet supporting microcapsules is ejected from a cartridge at the front of the printer housing in the Y direction, and being preheated by a film heater to increase the sensitivity, a latent image is formed by exposure on the front face thereof while the exposure-scan is performed by a movement in the main scanning direction of a LED-type exposure head. Thereafter, an upper nip roller of a developing mechanism is moved from a separated position to a pressing position and the exposed microcapsule sheet is moved backward in the -Y direction, the capsules with low mechanical strength are ruptured by pressure and a full color image is formed on the microcapsule sheet, heat-fixing is performed by the film heater and the microcapsule sheet is discharged from the front of the printer housing.
