ABSTRACT:
A printer which includes a latent image carrier in the form of an endless belt, a carriage moveable parallel to a lengthwise dimension of the endless belt, and a paper transport device for moving a sheet of paper perpendicular to the direction of movement of the belt. Mounted on the carriage is a condition control mechanism for putting the latent image carrier in a condition ready for writing a latent image on it, a writing mechanism for forming a latent image on the latent image carriage, a transfer unit for transferring a toner image from the latent image carrier to a recording medium, and a fixing unit for fixing the toner image on the recording medium. After a write operation, the belt is rotated on-half its length and held immoveable. The carriage, having mounted on it the condition control mechanism, writing mechanism, transfer unit and fixing unit, is then moved in the length direction of the latent image carrier and a concurrent write operation, transferring operation, and fixing operation is conducted on three separate lines of images.
