Clamshell-type electrophotographic duplex printer

摘要

An electrophotographic recording apparatus comprising a sheet feeder for feeding a sheet of recording paper to a sheet feed inlet; an image forming unit for forming a printing image onto a photosensitive drum based on printing data and transferring the printing image onto the sheet; and a fixing unit for fixing the transferred image on the sheet, in which these units are arranged vertically. The apparatus further comprises a device for reversing and returning the sheet to the photosensitive drum to enable the photosensitive drum to transfer a second printing image onto the opposite side of the sheet.
