Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To make color recording by superposing plural colors upon each other, by performing the recording of plural colors with one reciprocation of a carriage and feeding recording paper by the developing area width of each color at every reciprocation. CONSTITUTION:When a carriage 17 is moved in X direction, the developing device 15c of cyan is separated and developing devices 15y and 15m of yellow and magenta are brought nearer. Moreover, picture signals are sent to an optical writing system 13 so that an electrostatic latent images can be formed only in the developing areas 16y and 16m of yellow and magenta. When the carriage 17 moves in Z direction, the developing device 15c of cyan is brought nearer and developing devices 15y and 15m of yellow and magenta are separated. If recording paper 17 is fed in R direction by the widths of the developing areas 16y, 16m, and 16c on a photosensitive drum 16, the carriage 17 is moved in X direction and the picture of primary color is recorded.
