ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTER

PURPOSE:To miniaturize a printer and to reduce cost by providing a reciprocating circuit mechanism rocking a sectorial photosensitive body part having dielectric body, centered around a turning shaft. CONSTITUTION:The photosensitive body part 1 having the dielectric body is shaped in an almost sector so that the position of the turning shaft 1a is a rivet, at its virtual cross-section and the turning mechanism rocking the photosensitive body part 1, centered around the turning shaft 1a, is provided. The dielectric photosensitive face of the photosensitive body part 1 electrified by a charger 2 is moved along a semi-circumference. Consequently, the part 1 is exposed by a printer head 3 to form a charge pattern, and developed with toner by a developing device 4. After the trandfer device 5 transfers it to a printing sheet 6, the part 1 is destaticized by an eraser 7 and cleaned by a cleaner 8. Thus, a small-sized and inexpensive printer is constituted.
