  • Patent number: 5065196
    Abstract: An electrophotographic printer is provided with: a photosensitive drum; a feeding device which feeds a continuous recording sheet; a transfer device which transfers a toner image formed on the photosensitive surface of the drum onto the sheet; a cleaning device which removes residual developer from the photosensitive surface; and a photographic fixing device which fixes the toner image to the sheet. The feeding device includes an endless belt which is located on the downstream side of the drum with reference to the sheet-feeding direction and which travels in one direction. The feeding device also includes a charger which electrically charges the endless belt, so as to allow the sheet to be electrostatically attracted on the endless belt.
