Abstract

A color electronic photographic apparatus includes plurality of image forming units, each having a different electrostatic carrier and a different colored toner. Each of the image forming units can be moved to the same image forming position when exposed to light by a light exposing mechanism at the image forming position so as to effect an image forming operation, so that toner images are individually transferred onto a transfer material. In the color electronic photographic apparatus, the image forming units are sequentially moved into the image forming position, and also, the transfer material is reciprocated by the transfer carrying device so that the toner images of each color are properly superposed on the same transfer material.
