Abstract
When desired images are recorded on an image receiving sheet by laminating a toner layer of a transfer sheet as heat-mode sensitive material and an image receiving layer of an image receiving sheet to be fixed to a recording medium fixing member and exposing the transfer sheet of a recording medium while moving the recording medium fixing member in a main scanning direction and also moving a plurality of aligned laser beam spots in a vertical scanning direction that is perpendicular to the main scanning direction, exposure is carried out by laser beam spots which are inclined such that a spot on an upstream end in the vertical scanning direction is positioned on a downstream side in the main scanning direction rather than a spot on a downstream end in the vertical scanning direction.
