Abstract
A laser imager has a laser image forming apparatus and an automatic developing apparatus transporting photosensitive sheets at a lower speed than the former and which is adapted to successively produce prints efficiently without a trailing sheet interfering with the transport of a leading sheet in the path of transport. The laser imager has a control device for judging whether or not two photosensitive sheets would overlap each other while the sheets are being transferred in succession from a transport device of the image forming apparatus to a transport device of the developing apparatus, and for controlling the sheet transport timing based on the result of the judging.
