Abstract
Apparatus for transferring seriatim related transferable images from sequentially spaced image-receiving areas on the member onto a surface of a moving receiver sheet. The transfer apparatus includes a mechanism which captures the lead and trail edges of a receiver sheet. A portion of the sheet intermediate the lead and trail edges is self-supporting. The mechanism moves to repetitively circulate a captured sheet along a path through a position at which such sheet is in transfer relation to a transferable image on the member. A charger is located adjacent to such position on the opposite side of the sheet from the member to effect transfer of the transferable images. The movement of the mechanism is synchronized with the image-receiving areas on the member to sequentially register the captured sheet accurately with the related transferable images at such position so that the images are transferred to such sheet in accurate superimposed register.
