Abstract
A compact electronic image transfer device includes an image sensor which scans an original image to form image signals, a memory which accumulates and stores these image signals, a printer which scans a printing medium and prints an output image on this medium according to the image signals stored in the memory, and a driving device for causing the image sensor and the printer to move within a same plane. Use is made of a thermal transfer donor film with transparent areas and donor areas formed alternately along its length. A donor area with a coating of donor material is used when the printer prints an image. A transparent area is used when the image sensor scans an original document.
