Abstract
Electrographic imaging apparatus which includes a portion for producing an unfixed or nonpermanent toner powder image on a first receptor in accordance with electrical signals, a second portion for providing a light image from the toner powder image with a third portion operated to carry out an electrophotographic process for producing a permanent image on a second receptor. The third portion includes a photoconductive member which receives the light image from the second portion to provide a latent image that is developed and transferred to the second receptor to provide the permanent image.
Claims6
Apparatus for producing a permanent image including:
- a first receptor member;
- means for producing an unfixed toner powder image on said first receptor member;
- means including a photoconductive member for producing a permanent image on a second receptor member using a latent image resulting from a light image received by said photoconductive member;
- and
- means adapted for producing a light image of an unfixed toner powder image on said first receptor member and directing it so it is received by said photoconductive member.
