Abstract
An electrographic printing apparatus capable of functioning as a copier, printer, and telefax machine is disclosed. The electrographic printing apparatus includes a photoconductive member, preferably a horizontally mounted photoconductive belt, a developer unit for developing an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductive member, and a biased transfer roller to transfer the developed electrostatic latent image to a sheet of copy material. The apparatus also includes an optical print head which can receive information from a local or a remote source to form the electrostatic latent image on the photoconductive member and thus act as a printer. The apparatus further includes a device for scanning an original document and for projecting the scanned image either onto the photoconductive member or onto a CCD linear array. When the scanned image is projected onto the photoconductive member, a copy of the original document is made. When the image is projected onto the CCD linear array, the scanned image is digitized and sent via the telephone lines in the manner of a telefax machine.
