Title: Non-impact printer

Abstract: A non-impact printing system in which a photoconductor is illuminated with a light image of the character to be printed while applying a voltage across the photoconductor and a transparent insulating belt held in contact with the illuminated portion of the photoconductor. This results in the depositing of a latent electrostatic image of the character on the surface of the belt in contact with the photoconductor layer. The belt is then transported past a developing station where the image is developed with a toner and then transferred to plain paper.
