Geometric design reproducing apparatus

摘要

Electrostatographic reproducing apparatus comprising a movable imaging surface, transport means to transport the imaging surface along a path past the series of operational processing stations wherein a toner image and copy substrate contact station is provided, and wherein the distance along the imaging surface path from the image forming station where the lead edge of an image is formed on the imaging surface to the initial line of contact of the imaging surface with the copy substrate is equal to the distance along the copy substrate path from the copy sheet entrance to the initial line of contact of the lead edge of the copy substrate with lead edge of the image on the imaging surface. The apparatus further includes means at the beginning of each imaging cycle to simultaneously actuate the movable imaging surface with a copy substrate transport whereby the lead edge of the formed image on the imaging surface and the lead edge of the copy substrate simultaneously arrive at the initial line of contact.
