ABSTRACT:
An image transferring apparatus functions both as a copying machine for forming a latent image of an original on a photosensitive body, developing it, and transferring it to sheets of paper or other material, and as a thermal transfer printer for transferring coloring agents to sheets of paper or other material in response to image information. The apparatus includes a feeding device that feeds sheets to either the copying machine or the printer for image transference. Further, one embodiment of the apparatus includes a conveying device for conveying a sheet that has been printed in the printer to an original holding board associated with the copying machine so that the image that was transferred to the sheet in the printer can be automatically copied onto additional sheets in the copying machine.
