Abstract
An electrophotographic color printing arrangement includes a belt photoreceptor having a path of motion extending at an angle of about 35.degree. to 60.degree. with respect to the horizontal, a plurality of developing units disposed adjacent to the lower surface of the photoreceptor and a substrate supply container located beneath the developing units. A fuser unit is located above the lower end of the photoreceptor path remote from the photoreceptor and a photoreceptor cleaning unit located adjacent to the upper end of the photoreceptor path receiving toner from the photoreceptor and conveys it to a waste container.
