ABSTRACT:
The method of transporting an electrostatic strip wherein the strip on a supply roll is pulled from the supply roll which is normally freely rotatable and the strip having been pulled from the supply roll is returnable to the supply roll by driving the supply roll in reverse to rewind the electrostatic strip; the unspooling of the electrostatic strip from the supply roll is performed by a pair of feed rollers; after imaging the electrostatic strip, it is carried between a pair of longitudinally ribbed guides past a magnetic toner to an inspection station at which station it may be viewed and optionally severed from the remainder of the electrostatic strip, which remainder is returned toward the supply roll for neutralization, detoning, reimaging and refeeding to the viewing station, while the portion of the electrostatic strip at the viewing station is carried in a generally horizontal planar course to a fuser for making permanent the toned, unfused electrostatic image.
