Abstract: A color image recording apparatus operates in a color print mode and in a monochrome printing mode. A set of color print heads are driven in accordance with corresponding color image data. A monochrome print head is driven in accordance with black image data. A controller transmits in parallel or in serial the color image data and the black image data to the corresponding print heads in a color printing mode. The controller transmits the black image data faster in the monochrome printing mode than in the color printing mode, thereby increasing printing speed. The controller may include signal processing circuits such as compressing circuits and expanding circuit for the respective color image data and black image data. In the monochrome printing mode, the controller divides the black image data into a plurality of segments and supplies the segments in parallel to the signal processing circuits.

A carrier belt transports a recording medium placed thereon so that the recording medium passes through a plurality of printing mechanisms which print images of different colors on the recording medium in superposition. Each printing mechanism prints an image of a corresponding color. The printing mechanism is adapted to be moved into its operative position where the photosensitive drum of the printing mechanism is in contact with the carrier belt to print the image on the recording medium, and into its non-operative position where the photosensitive drum of the printing mechanism is not in contact with the carrier belt.

The refractory-type heating station 13 includes a shell 24 lined with a heat-insulating material 26 and a second heater 27. These two stations 12 and 13 are connected to one another by a flexible connecting unit 14 which is extensible in the longitudinal direction of the heating zone. A metal strip S conveyed in the furnace 1 is heated in the muffle-type heating station 12 and subsequently heated in the refractory-type heating station 13 up to a predetermined temperature, for example, about 1,100.degree. C. According to this constitution, a large-sized vertical annealing furnace may be constructed. Also, the period of durability of the muffle may be extended, the running expenses may be decreased, and metal strip having good brightness may be produced.
