<p>PURPOSE:To miniaturize the whole constitution, and to save energy required for transfer, by providing a transfer device so as to be freely movable in the longitudinal direction of a latent image carrier. CONSTITUTION:A transfer device is provided so as to be freely movable in the longitudinal direction of a latent image carrier. That is, between a driving roller 22 and a driven roller 23, a carriage 24 is provided so that its reciprocating motion can be executed freely by the width of at least a form 2 in the width direction of the form 2, and to this carriage, an electrostatic charger 25, an optical write head 26, a transfer roller 27 and a fixing roller 28 are attached so that the reciprocating motion can be executed together. Subsequently, in a state that one latent image carrying body 21 has been stopped, while moving the other transfer device, a toner image which has been formed in the latent image carrier 21 is transferred to a recording carrier. In such a way, the transfer part is miniaturized, the whole constitution is miniaturized, and the energy required for transfer can be saved.</p> |
