A printer comprises for forming an image on a surface of a recording medium
includes a preprocessing means for preprocessing the surface of the
recording media to form an image on the surface of the recording media;
post-processing device for post-processing the surface of the recording
medium preprocessed by the preprocessing device; a recording medium feed
path formed between the preprocessing means and the post-processing means;
a first feed device arranged on an upstream side of the recording medium
feed path; and a second feed device arranged on a downstream side of the
recording medium feed path. The first feed device and the second feed
device are made different in driving control from each other. For printing
a plurality of recording medium successively, no large-scale arrangements
are provided for printing processes to meet a required printing accuracy
and to shorten a processing time.
