Electro-photographic copier with strip-shaped latent-image carrier

摘要

An electro-photographic copier has a strip-shaped latent-image carrier which is payed out from a supply and taken up by a take-up. An image-forming station is provided at which an image of an original to be copied is formed on the image carrier, and a guide arrangement guides the image carrier on its way from the pay-out to the take-up in a path including at least adjacent the image-forming station a planar portion in which successive image-receiving increments of the image carrier travel past the station in substantially planar condition.
