Abstract
An electrophotographic copying apparatus having a photosensitive medium for normal copying operations further includes an electric charge carrying medium for receiving and storing an electrostatic latent image in accordance with external electric signals, as from facsimile transmission. The charge carrying medium is moveable between a first position spaced from the photosensitive medium and a second position in image transferable relationship with the photosensitive medium. Latent image formation on the charge carrying medium is effected at the first position thereof so as to free the photosensitive member for concurrent normal electrophotographic copying operations.
