Abstract: A moving body moves in reciprocation in directions perpendicular to a feeding direction of a chart. An image carrier is mounted on the moving body and rotates in synchronism with a movement of the moving body. A charging unit is mounted on the moving body and changes the image carrier. A developing unit is mounted on the moving body and develops an electrostatic latent image formed by irradiating the image carrier charged by the charging unit with the light. A voltage dividing unit moving in synchronism with the moving body divides a predetermined voltage and supplies the divided voltages to at least the charging unit and the developing unit. An electric charge supplying unit may be used to supply electric charges to a holding unit for holding the electric charges under various conditions of the moving body.

Abstract: An electrophotographic printing machine includes a transporting part for transporting a recording medium, and a carriage movable in a first direction transverse to a second direction in which the recording medium is transported. The carriage includes a process part for forming a latent image on an image carrier and forming a toner image of the latent image, and a fixing part for thermally fixing a transferred image corresponding to the toner image on the recording medium. A transfer part, which is provided at a first side of the recording medium opposite to a second side thereof at which the carriage is located, transfers the toner image on the recording medium to thereby form the transferred image. A refuge part in which the fixing part can take refuge is located at a side of the transfer part and located in a print starting position in which the fixing part provided in the carriage is located so as to prevent the transfer part from being thermally affected by the fixing part.
