Abstract
An electrographic printing apparatus includes a housing, a source of paper, an output receptacle for receiving the paper after it is imprinted, a photoconductive member for storing a latent electrostatic image, a developer unit for developing the latent electrostatic image, and a charged transfer belt disposed opposite the photoconductive member. The charged transfer belt serves to transfer the developed image from the photoconductive member to the paper, and to transport the paper after it is imprinted to a fusing station. The paper path is located near the top of the housing for easy access in case of a paper jam. The paper path includes a sharp separation angle from the photoconductive member in order to decrease the dwell time of the paper against the photoconductive member. Desirably, the photoconductive member comprises a photosensitive drum of relatively small diameter, for example, on the order of 30-80 mm in diameter.
