摘要:
REaD electrophotographic printing using additive color toners and inhibited image on image development. Inhibited image on image development is achieved by setting the exposure set points such that exposure losses incurred when imaging through previously developed toner reduces the electrostatic potential for developing over the developed toner, by using a DC corona system during recharging so as to enhance the voltage drop across the previously developed toner(s), and/or by increasing the developed toner mass to increase the thickness of the dielectric properties of the developed toner.

A Recharge-Expose-and-Develop Image on Image color electrophotographic printing system in which the photoreceptor (10) is recharged between development of one color of toner image and the subsequent exposure for a second color latent image by first being sprayed at (20) with opposite sign ions to reduce the photoreceptor potential and then being charged at (22) with correct sign ions to recharge the photoreceptor (10) to a desired potential.
摘要:
A multi-color imaging apparatus uses a recharge step between image creation steps in order to condition a charge retentive surface (10) prior to forming the second and subsequent images. A voltage sensitive corona generating device (36,51,61) having a high characteristic slope described in a graph of the current delivered to a charge receiving surface (I) vs. grid minus charge receiving surface voltage (V) is used to both reduce the residual toner voltage across the previously toned image and to charge the toned and untoned areas of the charge retentive surface to a substantially uniform level, so that developability conditions for the subsequent image are improved.

The present invention relates to utilizing memory provided in a machine replaceable sub-assembly to be one medium of distribution for software code updates to that machine relating as to how that machine should use that replaceable sub-assembly. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for operating a printer apparatus comprising the step of: providing a customer replaceable unit separable from the printer apparatus, the customer replaceable unit further comprising a memory, the memory having stored within a software code upgrade of executable instructions relating to the utilization of the customer replaceable unit.
摘要:
A printing apparatus includes a guide member for directing sheets toward a transfer zone. The guide member defines a set of ribs which hold the sheets above the main surface of the guide member. Thus, any stray marking material which lands on the guide member is relatively unlikely to contact a sheet moving over the guide member.

摘要:
In a multi-color imaging apparatus utilizing a recharge step (d) between two image creation steps (B,C;38,E) for recharging a charge retentive surface (10) to a predetermined potential pursuant to forming the second of the two images, a first corona generating device (36) recharges the charge retentive surface to a higher absolute potential than the predetermined potential, and then a second corona generating device (37) recharges the charge retentive surface to the predetermined potential. An electrical charge associated with the first image is substantially neutralized after being recharged by the first and second corona generating device.

The present invention relates to utilizing memory provided in a machine replaceable sub-assembly to be a medium of distribution for software code updates to that machine relating as to how that machine should operate. In one alternative, there is provided a method for operating a machine comprising the steps of providing a replaceable sub-assembly separable from the machine, the replaceable sub-assembly further comprising a memory in which is stored software code of executable instructions. The method provides placing the replaceable sub-assembly into the machine, reading the memory, placing the stored software code of executable instructions into the machine as new machine software code, and then operating the machine in accordance with the new software code. In this way, the replaceable sub-assembly becomes the medium for the machine's software updates.
