Line-sequential recording method and apparatus thereof using stationary recording material

摘要

A recording sheet of a recording material is transported on a conveyer belt to a recording station, and is held to be flat and stationary at the recording station by vacuum suction. A line image projection device projects a line recording light onto the recording sheet along a main scan direction on the basis of image data of each line of an image to print. Synchronously with the projection of the line recording light, projecting position on the recording sheet is shifted perpendicularly to the main scan direction by moving the line image projection device or an optical scanning device. The optical scanning device consists of at least a mirror and a mirror shift mechanism.
