Abstract
An image recording machine for producing a high quality image both in a text part and in a photograph part, i.e., a crisp (low gradation) image in a text part and a gentle (high gradation) image in a photograph part. The gradation characteristic is altered from part to part within a sheet on which the image is produced by decreasing the voltage of the photoconductive drum previously charged at a preset full voltage within a limited area. Irradiation of less intense light onto the photoconductive drum within the limited area by an array of LED elements can be used to decrease the surface voltage.
