ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic recording apparatus records an image on a recording paper, either a cut recording sheet or a continuous recording paper, through steps of feeding the recording paper along a paper feed plane exclusively for the recording paper, stopping the recording paper upon the arrival of the same at a predetermined, exclusive starting position, forming an electrostatic latent image on a photoconductor by an exposure unit as the photoconductor is rotated at a fixed surface speed, developing the electrostatic latent image in a toner image by a developing unit by applying a toner charged in a polarity opposite that of the electrostatic latent image, restarting the feed of the recording paper at a feed seed corresponding to the surface speed of the photoconductor upon the arrival of the first line of the toner image formed on the surface of the photoconductor at a position which will coincide with a fixed recording position on the recording paper at a transfer position, transferring the toner image from the photoconductor to the recording paper, and fixing the transferred toner image to the recording paper by a fixing unit. When the toner image is thus formed on the continuous recording paper, a portion of the continuous recording paper carrying the toner image is cut off by a cutting unit, and then the continuous recording paper is retracted to the starting position.
