.~> With record receiver or handling means therefor
DEFINITION
Classification: 347/224
LIGHT OR BEAM MARKING APPARATUS OR PROCESSES:
(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the record receiver is marked by the action of light or a stream of electrons representing an electrical information signal.
(1) Note. The light can be generated by an ambient or an artificial light source.
(2) Note. This subclass is distinguished from Class 399, Electrophotography, due to the electrical information signal modulating the writing beam (i.e., exposure).
(3) Note. This subclass includes recording which may occur from heat generated by the light or beam.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
112+, where the record is made by selectively depositing or removing electrostatic charge from a medium.
171+, where the record is made by a thermal head brought in contact with a medium under a heated or conducted condition.
