Abstract
There is provided a recording apparatus including a holder member upon which an image is formed by scanning a modulated beam, a transfer device for transferring the formed image to a continuous transfer material, a transfer material transporting device for loading the continuous transfer paper and a feeding device for feeding the transfer material. The transfer material transporting device includes a set of members which open to accommodate the transfer material, a holder for retaining the transfer material, an endless rotary member which moves the holder through the open members and a control for controlling the opening and closing of the members. The feeding device includes an index and a transporting mechanism for moving the continuous transfer material a distance corresponding to the distance between the index and transfer device. The feeding device also includes another transport mechanism, both transport mechanisms beginning and stopping at different times. The recording apparatus is also provided with a potential measuring head located along the scanning path but not beyond the print end region on the holder member.
