Abstract
An electrophotographic apparatus including a photosensitive member; a corona charger for charging a surface of the photosensitive member; a circuit-forming/chargeable powder supplying device for supplying circuit-forming/chargeable powder to a latent image pattern on the photosensitive member; a transferring device for transferring the circuit-forming/chargeable powder on the latent image pattern onto a ceramic green sheet; a flash lamp for fixing the circuit-forming/chargeable powder, transferred onto the ceramic green sheet, in order to form a circuit pattern (not shown) on the ceramic green sheet; and a circuit pattern forming position recognizing camera for detecting a circuit pattern forming position on the ceramic green sheet. In the electrophotographic apparatus, laser beams are used to form a predetermined latent image pattern (not shown) on a surface of the photosensitive member. Even when the electrophotographic apparatus is used for forming a circuit pattern on a print material by an electrophotographic method, the problem that a circuit pattern forming position shifts does not occur.
