Abstract: Combined copying and printing apparatus is provided by combining a known office copier of the plain paper transfer type with a non-impact printer that uses a black on white cathode ray tube optical display to form a latent electrostatic image on the photoreceptor of the copier apparatus. The cathode ray tube may be fixed or movable, as required, and is of the single sweep type using fiber optics to transmit the optical image to the photoreceptor, which photoreceptor moves relative to the CRT sweep to provide a two-dimensional image that is developed and transferred to plain paper. The non-impact printer of the invention can be used as a stand-alone device without provision for the copying function.
