Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a photoconductor and a photoconductor transporting mechanism. The photoconductor is in the form of a plurality of cut sheets and stacked in a tray. One cut sheet of the photoconductor is transported to an electrifying device where the cut sheet is electrostatically charged. The charged cut sheet is delivered to an exposing device and exposed therein to a laser beam to thereby have an electrostatic latent image thereon. The cut sheet with the latent image is transported to a developing section and developed therein. The developed latent image is transferred in a transferring section onto a recording paper supplied thereto. The transferred image is fixed on the recording paper in a fixing section. After transferring, the cut sheet returns to the tray for the repeated use.
