Printing system for facsimile reception apparatus

Abstract

A printing system for a facsimile transceiver includes a first sheet feed means for feeding a recording sheet toward a latent image forming station intermittently at a variable speed in accordance with an input compressed data signal. The sheet is temporarily detained to form a loop in a predetermined position past of the latent image forming station. A second sheet feed means causes the sheet to advance farther toward developing and fixing station sequentially at a constant speed by each predetermined amount in correspondence with a detained amount of the sheet. The developing station is provided with a developing member which is rotated at a constant speed in synchronism with the operation of the second sheet feed means. The fixing station is provided with a flashing light source which is energized in relation with the operation of the second sheet feed means.
