Multi-mode electrostatographic printing machine

摘要

A multi-mode electrostatographic printing machine. A first latent image is recorded on a photoconductive member. The first latent image is transferred to a dielectric sheet. Subsequent to this transfer, the sheet is moved to a position where a second image is formed on the dielectric sheet by a stylus array having a plurality of individually actuatable stylii. Operator controls allow either of or both the latent images to be formed on the dielectric sheet. The multi-mode of operation can be extended to include a third image forming device for causing a third latent image to be recorded on the photoconductive member and subsequently transferred to the dielectric sheet. The operator controls are similarly extended to allow any combination of the three images to be formed on the dielectric sheet.
