摘要:
The developing device includes a toner layer formation control unit instructing a voltage control unit to set a first voltage difference to form a toner layer on a surface of a toner supporting rotator, a stripping control unit that instructs the voltage control unit to, in a toner layer stripping mode, set a second voltage difference that moves substantially an entire amount of toner composing the toner layer to a developer supporting rotator, and a density detection unit detecting the toner density on a transfer member onto which a toner image is primarily transferred. When the toner remains on a surface of the toner supporting rotator, the stripping control unit causes the toner to fly to the surface of the image carrier, while outputting an instruction adjusting the second voltage difference to the voltage control unit in order to reduce the toner density detected by the toner density detection unit.

摘要:
A plurality of electrostatic images are formed on a moving tensioned belt (26) comprising an electrically conductive base (58) having a non-conductive image-carrying surface layer (59). The images are developed by passing the belt through a plurality of toner development stations, each of which includes a development unit (35, 36, 37, 38) including a magnetic roller (51) and a backing member (53), in opposed position to the magnetic roller (51), over which the belt (26) passes. Under non-ideal conditions (defined in the text), the image quality in terms of image density and uniformity of image density and rendition of sharp image transitions, is substantially improved by using an alternating electrical field between the magnetic roller (51) and the belt (26), the peak-to-peak voltage of which is greater than 800 volts.
