Abstract:
A color electrophotographic apparatus, comprising:a roller set including a first roller and a second roller;a flexible photoconductor configured as an endless belt and positioned to be driven by the roller set along a movement direction;a plurality of chargers for applying a predetermined voltage on a surface of the flexible photoconductor;a plurality of aligned light sources provided downstream of the plurality of chargers with respect to the movement direction of said photoconductor, the plurality of aligned light sources irradiating parallel light beams onto a specified area of the flexible photoconductor to change the voltage on the specified area;memory means for each of the aligned light sources having a line memory register and at least one shift register for horizontally aligning a line of image information from each light source with a corresponding line of information from another light source of the plurality to produce horizontal registration of the lines of corresponding color images at the same positions on the photoconductor; anda plurality of developing units each carrying a developer to be provided to the flexible photoconductor.
