Abstract: A system of image formation in combination with a facsimile recording system in which a latent image is formed on a photosensitive plate through an optical projection device by light spots. The surface of a flying spot scanner tube is scanned sequentially and then the image is changed into a toner image. A projection surface of the optical projecting device is positioned along the movement path of a photosensitive plate retaining member having two photosensitive plates at the symmetrical positions on the member, and these two photosensitive plates are moved to pass the projection station and the transfer station alternately. In addition to the optical projection device, at least a charging device, a developing device and a transferring device are disposed along the moving path of the photosensitive plates and a d.c.
