Electrophotographic printer

An electrophotographic printer comprising:

• (a) a flat platen having a surface;
• (b) paper feed means for feeding recording paper over the surface of said platen in a first direction;
• (c) a movable print head having a portion thereof confronting the recording paper where it is fed over said platen, said print head comprising:
• (c1) an electrostatic latent image carrier having a surface for receiving a charge;
• (c2) a transfer roller disposed in opposition to the recording paper where it is fed over the surface of said platen;
• (c3) a toner image bearing belt passing around said electrostatic latent image carrier and between said transfer roller and said recording paper;
• (c4) first charging means for charging the surface of said electrostatic latent image carrier;
• (c5) exposure means for exposing the charged electrostatic latent image carrier to form an electrostatic latent image;
• (c6) developing means disposed in opposition to the toner image bearing belt where it passes around said electrostatic latent image carrier to form, on said toner image bearing belt, a toner image corresponding to the latent image on said electrostatic latent image carrier, said transfer roller pressing the toner image bearing belt on which the toner image is formed against the recording paper over the platen to transfer the toner image onto the recording paper;
• (c7) drive means for moving the electrostatic latent image carrier and said toner image bearing belt in timed sequence with the movement of said print head;
• and
• (c8) heating means provided in one of said platen and said transfer roller to fix the toner image on said recording paper;
• and
• (d) a space-driving means for moving said print head along the surface of said platen in a second direction at an angle with said first direction, whereby transfer and fixing take place between said transfer roller and said platen.
