Electrophotographic element (48) charged and provided with an image, continuously and progressively, by the use of a laser beam (38) modulated using digital data existing in a memory, by using an apparatus which carries, on the one hand, the element (48) and, on the other hand, a charging device (56-58) and a beam-directing device (40-42), in such a way that there is a rotational and axial movement of the element (48) with respect to the said device or vice versa. The application of toner and/or the fixing thereof and/or a transfer apparatus may be performed in conjunction with the abovementioned apparatus or separately. The image is produced by using radiant energy, by converting a master image into a digital data or information item, by storing the latter and by using the stored information subsequently in order to provide the electrophotographic element with an image. The value used may be the value produced, in real time, by a computer, or received by an input terminal. <IMAGE> |
