Abstract

A plurality of laser beams are applied to a scanning medium at different positions thereon and are converted thereby to respective scanning light beams. The laser beams are modulated by color image signals representative of respective differently colored images. As the scanning medium rotates, it deflects the applied laser beams and emits them as the scanning light beams. The scanning light beams are then applied to respective photosensitive bodies to scan them, forming latent images thereon which correspond to the color image signals, respectively. The latent images are developed into respective color images which are transferred and fixed to a single recording medium thereby to form a color image thereon.
