DEVELOPING SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC MULTICOLOR IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

An improved developing system for an electrophotographic color imaging apparatus is disclosed which selectively moves multiple individual developing units from a plurality of first storage positions to the same working or operating position in a processing path to color develop the latent image. The developing system stores the individual developing units remotely from the processing path. The individual toner developing units move in both horizontal and vertical directions as they move from the first storage positions to the second working or operating position. The working position is the same distance and time from the charging and depressant coronas in the process path that is followed to produce a colored image.
