Abstract
This apparatus forms multiplex images on an image receiving member and prevents any misregistration between the images on the image receiving member by making the distance between adjacent ones of image processing stations disposed along the direction of conveyance of the image receiving member integer times the distance over which the image receiving member is conveyed by one full rotation of rotative driving means.

An image receiving member conveying device for a multiplex image forming apparatus in which a plurality of images are superposed on an image receiving member and made into a final image, said device comprising:
- rotative driving means for moving the image receiving member by rotation;
- a plurality of image processing stations disposed along the direction of movement of said image receiving member at which stations images can be formed on the image receiving member passing therethrough;
- and
- means for conveying the image receiving member through said image processing stations, the distance between adjacent ones of said image processing stations being integer times the amount by which the image receiving member is conveyed by one full rotation of said rotative driving means.
An image receiving member conveying device for a multiplex image forming apparatus in which a plurality of images are superposed on an image receiving member and made into a final image, said device comprising:
- driving roller means for moving the image receiving member by rotation;
- a plurality of image processing stations disposed along the direction of movement of said image receiving member for forming toner images corresponding to the image receiving member being conveyed, the toner images being transferred to the image receiving member as it passes through said stations;
- and
- means for conveying the image receiving member through said image processing stations, the distance between adjacent ones of said image processing stations being integer times the amount by which the image receiving member is conveyed by one full rotation of said driving roller means.
