Abstract
There has been provided, in accordance with the present invention, a recording system for light sensitive recording medium in which a latent image is developed by heating the photographic emulsion by means of a current passing through a conductive coating on the back of the record member. The record member is exposed to a light pattern to impose a latent image over a predetermined sheet length of recording medium. The recording medium is driven past the exposure station by a driving roller, a roller which may be the driving roller engaging the conductive back surface of the recording medium being grounded. The medium is driven past a shear mechanism to a clamp device. The clamp device grips the forward end of the record medium and serves as an electrode to pass an electrical current through the conductive back surface to the grounded roller to develop the latent image. The shear mechanism is then actuated to sever the sheet lengths. The clamp device then releases the severed sheets.
