Abstract
In an electrophotographic copying machine of the type using a slit exposure optical system with reciprocating carriages, movement of these carriages at the time a transfer medium is being processed in the usual fixing device often causes a jittering of the apparatus which adversely affects the quality of the image being fixed. The method according to the present invention avoids this problem by assuring that there is no movement, particularly no return movement of the carriages from the time the transfer medium enters the fixing device until it is discharged therefrom.
