Small segment electrostatographic image recorder

Electrostatographic apparatus for recording images in narrow band segments, said apparatus comprising:

• a moving support having an electrostatographic surface moving in an intrack direction;
• a process module adapted to move intermittently in a cross track direction across the surfacer of said support, and having an array of individually addressable and energizable point-like radiation sources for sequentially imagewise writing to narrow bands of the electrostatographic surface to produce a series of adjacent latent electrostatic image segments of predetermined width;
• and
• a plurality of development stations, said process module being capable of selectively picking up and carrying one of said development stations at a time for developing each latent image segment before the next latent segment is created.

Electrostatographic apparatus for recording images in narrow band segments, said apparatus comprising:

• a moving support having an electrostatographic surface moving in an intract direction;
• a process module adapted to move intermittently in a cross track direction across the surface of said support, and having exposure means for sequentially imagewise exposing narrow bands of the electrostatographic surface to produce a series of adjacent latent electrostatic image segments of predetermined width;
• and
• a plurality of development stations, said process module being capable of selectively picking up and carrying one of said development stations at a time for developing each latent image segment before the next latent segment is created.
